        You may have missed the other end of the show.
        At a special SCO technical talk Corallary and Zenith and Compaq
        and others gave the lowdown about building computers for software
        that exists. Quite a change. 1200 vendors sell Xenix code.

        Zenith will actually show the little square box at Comdex that they
        talked about. NY was sort of an unofficial pre-announcement.

        Briefely, for all you hardware mongers, a 386 multi-processor machine
        that can handle up to 160 terminals.

        Lots of scsi drives and mucho ram sitting on a licensed superfast
        cache bus from Corallary that sits on top of the AT bus waiting for
        the EISA bus.

        Up to five fast 386's working in tandem. SCO will support this system
        with its SCO UNIX/386 in the Spring.

        Yes, it was sort of the joke of the show.
