Now that you mention it, you're right. That was the reason I
picked it up, because of it's light hardware requirements for a
Unix-type OS. It was also reasonably priced. I saw a positive
review of it in one of the big IBM-PC magazines and ordered it. I
wouldn't mind finding a complete Coherent package again...I have no
idea whatever happened to the one I had.
