Having acquired the computer arm of Sfena SA last year, SMT Goupil SA of Creteil has a need to expand its microcomputer family up-market, and has decided to go the route of networking its AT-alikes with Unix servers. To this end, it has come out with a variant of the 80386-based G50 three-bus machine, specifically configured to be used as a server running Unix System V.3.2. The G50DX adds to the cache bus, direct memory access bus and AT bus an intelligent disk controller that has its own 512Kb to 12.5Mb 68000 processor configured as a disk controller. It is capable of handling one to four 150Mb or 300Mb disks. The machine is designed to use the company’s MS-DOS machines as terminals, going into Unix with a simple Remote Login command; NetBIOS and the X Windog System are also supported; no prices have been given.
