So you can run it on a IBM 80386 platform, even if it does have to be a MCA bus type. Jim (we used the PS/2 80 because at that time there wasn't a cheaper solution on a stable platform. Great stuff, I remember when the prject started we had bunch of AIX programmers on loan from IBM, all in one room, full of the huge 21 inch X Monitors.... we called it the Bat Cave. :) )
