Zenith Personal Server

by Michael S. A » Sat, 30 Apr 1994 11:08:54

1/2 dozen of us here in the dorms have a 10Base2 network being shared by
Windows for Workgroups, OS/2, and Linux.

I'm thinking of adding a Zenith Personal Server, running Novel's
"netware" (or was it "Personal Netware"). Anyway, I'm curious how it
would get along with the others, especially the Linux boxes.

Any and all responses welcome.

Thanks,

Mike

1. Micron vs Zenith P90 (what's a Zenith?)

I have a choice between a Micron P90PCI and a "comparable" Zenith
system, which I hope to use for linux and DOS/Windows, and which I
want to have some longevity (I'm moving up from an AT&T 3b1!). The
Zenith system is apparently much more expensive, but my College is
willing to spend more on a Zenith, for reasons having to do with
standardization or something. Anyway, I haven't heard anything about
Zenith's P90 systems, and I would be very happy to hear anything you
might know about reasons to go with one over the other. The specs are
as follows:

Both Systems:
P90PCI 16MB 730EIDE 2XCDROM 17"SVGA

Micron: Zenith:

512K Cache 15ns write-back SRAM 256K L2 write-back
Diamond Stealth 64 2MB DRAM PCI ATI Mach 64 2MB VRAM
Mini-Tower Case 4ISA,2PCI,1comb Desktop 2ISA,1PCI,1comb
Intel Neptune PCI ???
??? Upgradeable to Overdrive
GE on-site 4year warrantee UM Campus service deal
(college-supplied ethernet board) "Built-in" AUI,10bT,10b2

Many thanks for any advice.

Cheers,
Mark
