Subject: Re: Info-3b2 Digest, Number 12

Am wondering if the 3b2/300 can run any other operating system besides Unix?
No paricular reason except I think it would be fun to fool around with 
another OS for awhile. Was thinking maybe MINIX would run on it, not sure
though.

Even if there isn't another OS that runs on it, is there another OS you would
LIKE to see on a 3b2? And why would you like to have it?

Thanks,
Ewan Grantham

	This is the third try at posting this, the last two never
	showed up.....

	I thought this might be of general enough info to post.
	It seems that Congruent Technologies of Austin has been 
	bought out by or is now in association with O/E Distribution, Inc. 
	of Troy Michigan. I feel this lends credit to Congruent Tech. Anyway, 
	on page 116 of the September issue of UNIX World the ad show that 
	they offer hard disk along with other products.

	Names and addresses follow.

	O/E Distribution, Inc.		Congruent Technologies, Inc.
	3290 Big Beaver Suite 200	9065 Jollyville Rd. 
	Troy MI	48084			Austin, TX 78759
	313-649-0540			512-346-4761
	800-762-7222
	

	On another note, the question about 3b5, 3b15's and 3b20's.

	the 3b5 is a mini, unlike the "desktop" 3b2 line, these are
	"floor" models, the 3b15 is a super-duper 3b5, with all the 
	options on it, it's like or better a vax 11/780. the 3b20 is
	used with 5ESS Digital switch, I don't think it's used for anything
	else, but I'm sure it could be.

	maybe 3b2fst!randy (now ocrjd!randy) could fill us in on the
	particulars if you specfiy them
