Greetings-
	The thread about att's unix running on third party hardware
raises a question for me that maybe one of ya'll can answer.  Does this imply
that att unix would not work on on an esdi configuration.  I would think
that it would since obviously att supports at type drives (ie st506), and
I thought that esdi, while using a faster protocall to talk at the disk, looked
just like an st506 controller to the machine.
	Does any one have att sysv r4 running on an esdi system?, am I all wrong
about esdi (if so, give me a break it is after all exam time:).

			-Thanks in Advance
