Siemens Nixdorf Information Systems launched new Unix workstations at Comdex/Fall this week: the WS200 series is based on its Slot-CPU modular personal computers and the machines make no concessions to the company’s sponsorship of the Open Software Foundation, running Santa Cruz Operation Inc’s Unix System V.386 and Open Desktop – but OSF/Motif is supported. The WS200s come in desktop and deskside configurations, with the 10DT and 20DT desktop models feature 80386SX processors at 16MHz and 25MHz. The deskside 30T uses a 33MHz 80386 and the 40T a 25MHz 80486. The machines are offered with 19 and 21 mono or colour monitors with resolutions up to 1,280 by 1,024, and MS-DOS emulation is supported under Unix. No prices.
