Yeah, I've played with the QNX boot floppy in the past. Very impressive. I'm thinking I should check out the latest version.
I have an old 486 Compaq Presario CPU and monitor in one box that has a keyboard that feels great to type on, so I may put it there. I'm kinda retro when it comes to hardware. :) John Hebert -----Original Message----- From: Lt.

QNX is free for personal use. I don't have the newest one though. This is QNX 4 I believe. I'll also make the boot floppies for them if anyone would want to copy them (you get a full gui with tcp/ip support for networks or modem connections to net, all on one floppy). It's pretty good for Internet Appliance Machines. _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net
