This would certainly allow >us to read the information that pertains to our CPU... this idea has been gone over and argued multiple times, and was discussed heavily when this newsgroup was formed. it's a BAD idea for this reason: it would put the XENIX camp in with the INTERACTIVE port team (microport/bell tech/etc..). [prepare asbestos suit / install sprinklers in mailbox ] would all the would-be prophets of the XENIX world stop their **garbage** postings in comp.unix.microport! i have purchased microport and am looking for support, hints, and fixes in this newsgroup. I am *not* looking for some XENIX dweeb expounding upon the virtues of his system over microports. this is especially true when he/she/it apparently has little direct experience with microport. go home. if you have information about microport / bell tech, then feel free to post it here, it's very welcome. if you just want to throw your shoulder out of joint patting yourself on the back, do it in your own yard.
