 Are you considering going to Assembly? If so, I'd defer to your exhibit, as you know
much more about these units. 
Yes, I'm one of the founders. :)

 I'd like to at least try out the XENIX side, if I can. Linux on a 386 is nice, but
it's just not the same. 
  Agree completely.  There's nothing like running a true Unix descendent on

  I suspect all of the drives will need attention, but I

More likely than not especially give the condition you mention.  The TM-848s are not the
most hearty of drives.
