- Have NO doubts. It ran Xenix, and quite well for it's day. The 3.2
- was pretty decent - a big improvment over the early 1.x releases.
-
- Mine here was running a usenet node until the net grew to exceed the
- 6000's capability. It had 4 megs of RAM, the MMU mod, a pair of 70
- meg drives and a Trailblazer.
-
- Now I'm having problems size again - it's the 18,000 articles/day - so
- time to get to a Sys V.4 to get more inodes - I hope I can make that
- last about 2 years :-)
