Hello Netland.

I presently have an UNIXpc (7300) running UNIX Rel3.0 and also have the
DOS-73 coprocessor and all seems to be working well. I purchased the 7300
used and didn't receive any of the install diskettes for the DOS-73. ;-(
Yes, I sometimes never, almost occasionally dabble in DOS. ;-)

So first of all is the DOS-73 software, for 3.0, binary compatable with 3.51?
Anybody have this? Also if it's that easy I'm still not sure which pieces/
parts are the DOS-73 software? Can anybody look at the install script and help
me out there? Assuming that it's not compatible. How do I go about getting
the DOS-73 software I need?

I want to upgrade to UNIX Rel3.51 a.s.a.p. but do not really want to loose
the coprocessor. Anyone willing to peek at the install script for the DOS-73
board so I can determine what is DOS-73 software. Any other suggestions as
to how to tackle this problem?

Anyone got for sale a 8087 FPA for this turkey? soooo slooowwww....

And as always, Thanks for your help.
