I'm considering purchasing a used unix-pc (3b1, 7300) as a home machine.
However, I would like to check on its MSDOS (if any) compatibility, when
the DOS board is installed.  Can anyone give me their experiences with
this?  Is the screen compatible with some IBM PC graphics board?

Or, should I wait for the Intel 386 prices to drop, and put ESIX on
it.  Of course, I may have to wait for a year or so...  I am sick and
tired of using my non-standard, floppy-based, MSDOS machine (a Tandy 2000)
and want a real Unix machine for home use.
