- Had anyone done this yet?

- The removable hard disk makes this very attractive; one disk for
- DOS/WINDOWS or OS/2 (or both maybe), and another for UNIX. But the MCA
- architecture is a problem -- a lot of PC UNIXs don't support it. Also
- some people have referred to the hard disk as using some sort of IBM
- proprietary IDE controller, so maybe this is a problem too. I'm no PC
- guru, so it would be reassuring to know that somebody else has actually
- made it work. (I'd be happiest if it worked with a big name
- shrink-wrapped UNIX and no hacking)!
