If we have no joy getting a unix release on the 286, I will bring either my 386 or 486 to use instead. Its more likely to be the 486 as that has a IDE interface, but the 386 is MFM! If I get time before the meeting, I will dig out a 16bit ISA IDE or SCSI controller and try to get it working in the 386. I will also bring another PC just in case that has both 3.5" and 5 1/4" drives and a special piece of disk imaging software. (Not linux based - sorry!) Will also have plenty of floppy disks. I can supply 1 monitor, can anyone else bring one incase we have more than 1 pc up and running. Finally, anyone got a old ethernet switch that not only has RJ-45 connections, but also a 10-Base 2 coax connection. This would make networking easier (If we get that far....)
