- Mt Xinu has both 2.5/2.6 Mach kernels and 3.0 Mach microkernels available
- for i386/486 boxes.
-
- The base package includes:
- Mach 2.5 kernel and utilities (binary)
- 4.3 BSD interface
- GNU utilities (GCC, GDB, GAS, EMACS, BISON)
- Networking:
- SUN NFS
- TCP/IP networking from the Berkeley Tahoe release
- X: The X Window System Version 11, Release 4 (R5 coming)
- On-line Documentation - Complete source for Mach and 4.3 documentation
-
- Optional Mach 3.0 Microkernel Add-on:
- -Complete Mach 3.0 microkernel source code
- -Complete build environment with tools to modify
- and rebuild the Mach 3.0 microkernel
- -Binary BSD server which runs on top of the
- microkernel in place of the standard /vmunix kernel
- -Source for an example of a server (POE)
- running on top of the Mach 3.0 microkernel
- and sources for some utilities which are
- kernel-dependent
- (-mdos DOS server coming soon)
-
- Optional Graphical User Interface Add-on, MUI, based on OSF/Motif(TM)
- MUI provides the standard components of the OSF/Motif technology:
- the extensible user interface toolkit, the user-applications
- programming interface, the user interface language, the familiar window
- manager, and complete on-line documentation. MUI,
- which runs on top of X, is compatible with the standard
- Mach386 2.5 Mach kernel as well as the optional Mach 3.0
- microkernel.
-
- 30 days of free installation support; low-cost AutoSupport available after that.
-
- Mach386 runs on most of the common AT-bus IBM PCs and compatibles such as
- Compaq, Intel, Olivetti, Toshiba and Hewlett-Packard. Pricing is $995
- for the base package; Mach 3.0 and MUI are each an additional $195.
-
- Memory Requirements:
- For the complete system, 100 megabytes of disk space and 8 megabytes of memory.
- For the base system, a minimum of 40 megabytes of disk and 4 megabytes of
- memory.
-
- Supported Devices:
- EGA, VGA, CGA and monochrome displays
- Color X windows supported on VGA boards via extended 8-bit color mode
- Toshiba and Toshiba-compatible floppy drives and controllers
- WD 1003/1007 compatible disk controllers (ESDI, ST506 or IDE hard
- disk drives and controllers)
- Adaptec SCSI controllers, models AHA-1540/1542(B) with various disks
- SCSI tape (has been tested with Archive VIPER-150 and TUV DAT drives)
- (SCSI tape is only available via AutoSupport at this time.)
- Wangtek 1/4" standard 3M streamer (QIC tape)
- i8250/16540/16550-based serial controllers (DOS COM lines)
- iMX-LAN/586 Ethernet board or Olivetti PC 586
- 3COM 3C501 & 3C502 & 3C503 (Etherlink I & II) Ethernet controllers
- Western Digital 80x3 Ethernet controllers
- Serial mice (Mouse Systems, SummaMouse, Logitek, and Microsoft mice)
- (Logitek MouseMan is not yet supported)
