Well, an update on my AT&T 6300.

First of all, thank you VERY much to everyone who responded with
information on this little machine. It's quite fun. The machine (now
named "Jon") has a new low-level formatted drive (the debug command was
g=c800:5, fyi) and is humming along merrily on MSDOS 6.22. Unfortunately,
my backup of the hard drive before format resulted in a bad backup, so I'm
working to restore that but doubt I will be able to.

On that note, what sort of OS do you recommend I run on it? Right now, I'm
running DOS 6.22 and the program Conex which allows me to use it as a
terminal for my Linux box via a serial cable.

Is there a UNIX-ish type OS I could run? If so, does anyone have a copy to
sell me? I thought about looking for an 8-bit ethernet card so I can get
it online, but not sure if it is worth it...well, it's always worth it to
get it online, but... :)

Thanks, again, for all your help.
