It is rumored to be a 6 MHz 80286 based system, 20 Mb hard disk, mucho memory, etc. From what I've heard of the benchmarks (Motorola info, though), this will be slower than AT&T's PC by a larger factor than the clock rate differences alone would explain. Now for a real rumor ... I've heard that a firm in the Boston area is working on a port of System V to the Advanced PC. "For a large company" ... which large company will have System V on a PC first ??? Dave Brownell {allegra,floyd,ihnp4,seismo}!harvard!brownell
