Hi there Netlanders!!
My company (after much prodding from me) has decided that we should use
our 16mhz, IBM PS/2 Model 80 as a xenix system. Currently we have one
77 meg drive and 2 meg of ram. The system will have to support ~10
users, but most of the time ~6 will be using it concurrently and the
major application will be Microsoft Word. Now that I got the company
to sign up to it I have some concerns.
- How much disk space should we allow for the os including
swap? We are buying the full system (os + text package +
development package)
- We will be initially adding 2 megs of ram, and will be using
an intelligent communications board (probably arnet). Will
the Model 80 give us enough power?
- I proposed Wyse 60 or IBM 3151 terminals because they were
listed as supported by Microsoft Word. Whats the downside
of these and what other terminals should we consider?
- What do you suppose I forgot? This is the first non-pc/mac
system we will have in our office and if it doesn't fly too
well the non-computer engineers will have a fit, so if there
are any standard pit falls that I might have to avoid, I'd
really like to know them.
Thanks in advance for your help!
