Yeah.... I just upgraded my pmax to the latest snap, and it feels
fine, so far, and even X works. Kudos the the port crewe.....

The 2100, even though the bottom of the pecking order, is a fine
little machine. Fill out your ram to 24mb and add in a second
RZ24 or RZ25 or such drive, and you will have a great little play
box.
The standard term is ``sun'' which is crazy. A sun it ain't.
But, at one time someone was supposed to put a ``pmax/pmin/something''
alias into it so it would pick up on that, as being a bit more logical.
I don't know where that went to. If anyone knows, do tell me, too.
Try logging in as a ``sun'' terminal.
