After this, several other poster voice their disappointments with the above
article. I don't think anyone has mentioned it before (if they have, I didn't
see it cross posted to comp.unix.microport), but the first issue of MIPS
(February 1989) had a comparision of SCO Xenix, Interactive Systems 386/ix,
Microport System V/386, and ENIX System V/386 (They couldn't get Bell
Technologies System V/386 Release 3.2 to successfully transfer to the hard
disks on their test systems). They tested them on both a Dell System 310
and Everex 386/20.
They had plenty of benchmarks, and a seperate article discusses some of the
benchmarks that are used.
A one year subscription is $19.94 from:

I have no affiliation with MIPS Publishing.
Any comments on this article and the magazine as a whole?
