Clearly I would need to add a serial port board if I wanted to run more than three people. Can it handle up to (say) twelve users? Does anyone have any experience with add-in serial boards yet? The '030 machine due tomorrow seems to run ~20% faster than a II, but I have never seen it running A/UX. Is there a big win in having an on-chip MMU that translates into a bigger performance increase than under the Mac OS? How many more users can I expect to throw on this box? "Enquiring clients want to know" :-) Thanks in advance ---- Alexis Rosen {allegra,philabs,cmcl2}!phri\ Writing from {harpo,cmcl2}!cucard!dasys1!alexis The Big Electric Cat {portal,well,sun}!hoptoad/ Public UNIX Best path: uunet!dasys1!alexis
