- (First of all, comp.unix.bsd is the wrong group for this question;
- it really belongs in comp.sys.3b1, to which I'm redirecting followups.)
-
- The 7300 and 3b1 are based on the 68010, not the 8086 family. There
- is a coprocessor board that was available (called DOS-73); if you don't
- have this board installed, you simply can't run DOS at all. With the
- coprocessor board installed, the machine works more or less like a
- 512K IBM XT with a monochrome display adapter, but DOS software has to
- be reasonably well-behaved to work. (And you can simultaneously run
- UNIX software in other windows, a feature notably lacking on most XT
- clones....)
