- Nah, you're not dreaming. I have one with 19 terminals and 15
- printers. Five printers are system printers, the others are attached
- to terminal as local printers. Not really heavily loaded, but has
- room for a lot more. Couldn't do that without high speed serial
- boards.
-
- I had 24 ports of Specialix RIO's and 12 ports of Stallion Onboard.
- The Stallion took care of the nearby users and the RIO took care of the
- ones scattered around the building. Finally moved the machine away
- from all users and runnng 32 RIO ports. Considering that the system is
- used primarily for database access and word processing it really
- doesn't need more than what Xenix has to offer.
