I noticed that it emulated an 80286, so we hunted around and got a copy of SCO Xenix/286 and installed that under SoftPC, running under SunOS. Aaaaaargh. Now i almost want to run TME or qemu to run SunOS and repeat this setup. ;) Do it, do it! It's good for the soul. I had difficulty getting TME to build on OS X so I'd need to run TME in a linux VM or something even crazier. I also couldn't get anything older than solaris 7 to run in QEMU. :( -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Which is the maximum size of a file system in RSX (well, support for 32-bit block numbers do exist, but is not enabled normally, so 24 bit block numbers is the normal limit). Don't make me whip out my ePeen! DRAKE (the 4000/90) has a pair of 146GB disks hanging off of it. I've also got 4x300G disks I'm thinking about putting on it as well. :) I should really see if that thing still boots. I should also replace the battery and find a proper disk enclosure for the disks in it (the SCA-50 adapters make them not fit right) -brian
