I have no idea on the UNIX, the A2620 was to have come in at under $2000 with 2 Meg…so a guess would be in the $3000 for 4 Meg. A 100 Meg SCSI drive probably goes for about $1500, the monitor for about $700 so that'd leave about $300 for the cost of UNIX. THAT IS A GUESS…NOT CBM figures!! Not having seen this setup…I can only guess from our setups at work that it would take a minimum of 50Meg HD and 2 Meg of RAM to even begin to work, but it'd probably be slow. If it's not a complete full implementation (similar to what's on the AT&T7300), then you could get away with 1 Meg and 20 Meg HD…but that is a very minimal system…very minimal.
