Microport UNIX 5.2 |on the 386 (in 286 mode) gives a Drystone rating of 3275 with |the UNIX compiler and 3500 with the Metaware compiler. The 5.3 |release in 386 mode gives a Drystone rating of 1652 (no-reg) |and 1773 (reg). This problem might be caused because the system is running a 8Mhz instead of 16Mhz. Set SW-4 on the motherboard to off to force the system to boot at 16Mhz.
