I saw a story in the paper today which said that IBM has announce the Unix
operating system for the IBM PC. A PC with 256K of memory, a 10Mbyte hard
disc, and $900 can buy the new PC/IX operating system, which was ported by
Interactive Systems for IBM. There wasn't a great amount of detail, but IS
specializes in System III, I think. There was a comment about making it
easier to talk to companies big machines, so I assume that it supports
uucp, which I don't believe Coherent does. Anybody out there know more
about this? (It may actually get my to buy a computer!)
