AT&T PERSONAL COMPUTER MODEL G300 PLUS The PC 6300 PLUS represents the newest generation of per- sonal computers. Designed for the MS'-DOS user who wants increased speed or is looking ahead to more sophisticated programming needs, the PC 6300 PLUS is one of the most powerful 80286-based personal computers ever produced. The PC 6300 PLUS not only runs MS- DOS programs, but it runs them up to 25% faster than the IBM® PC AT. This, together with other features, makes it an MS-DOS price-performer unmatched by any competitive system available today. The PC 6300 PLUS also runs UNIX TM System V*, the advanced operating system ideally suited for the multi-tasking and net- working needs of tomorrow's office environment. Using OS Merge, a unique hardware/ software combination, it can run MS-DOS concurrently with UNIX System V. And managing MS-DOS files and applications under UNIX System V provides even the non-UNIX user with an enhanced MS-DOS operat- ing environment. The PC 6300 PLUS is compatible with the AT&T PC 6300, the IBM PC and the PC XT ® . Thus it is compatible with the most popular PC software, periphe- rals and expansion boards on the market today. An upgrade for the PC 6300 is available, demonstrating AT&T's commit- ment to protect our customers' investment in AT&T equipment both now and in the future. Like other AT&T workstations, the PC 6300 PLUS offers the option of integrated voice and data communications, high- resolution graphics, and con- nectivity to IBM mainframes, System 75/85, Mer/in TM , the AT&T STARLAN NETWORK, and ISN.

AT&T PERSONAL COMPUTER MODEL G300 PLUSThe PC 6300 PLUS representsthe newest generation of per-sonal computers. Designed forthe MS'-DOS user who wantsincreased speed or is lookingahead to more sophisticatedprogramming needs, the PC6300 PLUS is one of the mostpowerful 80286-based personalcomputers ever produced. ThePC 6300 PLUS not only runs MS-DOS programs, but it runs themup to 25% faster than the IBM®PC AT. This, together withother features, makes it anMS-DOS price-performerunmatched by any competitivesystem available today.

The PC 6300 PLUS also runsUNIX TM System V*, the advancedoperating system ideally suited

for the multi-tasking and net-working needs of tomorrow'soffice environment. Using OSMerge, a unique hardware/software combination, it canrun MS-DOS concurrently withUNIX System V. And managingMS-DOS files and applicationsunder UNIX System V provideseven the non-UNIX user withan enhanced MS-DOS operat-ing environment.

The PC 6300 PLUS is compatiblewith the AT&T PC 6300, the IBMPC and the PC XT ®. Thus it iscompatible with the mostpopular PC software, periphe-rals and expansion boards onthe market today. An upgradefor the PC 6300 is available,demonstrating AT&T's commit-

ment to protect our customers'investment in AT&T equipmentboth now and in the future.

Like other AT&T workstations,the PC 6300 PLUS offers theoption of integrated voice anddata communications, high-resolution graphics, and con-nectivity to IBM mainframes,System 75/85, Mer/inTM , theAT&T STARLAN NETWORK, andISN.

With its high performance andmulti-tasking capabilities, thePC 6300 PLUS is the right choicefor your computing needs bothtoday and tomorrow.

*MS-DOS 3.1 is available now.UNIX System V will be availablein the first quarter of 1986.

Highlights

Performance• The PC 6300 PLUS runs yourMS-DOS software up to threeti mes faster than the IBM PC andPC XT. Optimized memory circuitry,coupled with the advanced 80286microprocessor, allows your MS-DOS applications to run at state-of-the-art speed.

True Multi Tasking• With optional UNIX System V,there is no need to interrupt anongoing MS-DOS application tohandle a phone call, look upanother file, print data, or receiveelectronic mail. An MS-DOS appli-cation and multiple UNIX Systemapplications are fully concurrentand continue to run in "back-ground" when new tasks areactivated.

Merged Operating Systems• OS Merge, a unique proprietaryhardware and software feature,permits a seamless transition fromMS-DOS to UNIX System V. Noshutdown, re-booting, or otherinterruption disturbs the user'swork flow.

Ease of Use• The User Interface available withUNIX System V allows easy accessto both MS-DOS and UNIX capa-bilities through a series of windowsand menus that provide choices ineveryday language.

Enhanced Functionality• The PC 6300 PLUS's unique abilityto run MS-DOS and UNIX concur-rently brings you attractive newfeatures and functionality. UNIXSystem V's security features enableyou to control access to all of yourMS-DOS and UNIX directories,data files and applications pro-grams, even if you share yourmachine with other users.

With UNIX System V you can sendand receive electronic mail whilethe machine is unattended orwhile working on another task,print several documents or back upfiles without stopping your work,or even run an MS-DOS programautomatically while you are awayfrom your desk.

Upgrade for PC 6300• A PC 6300 can be upgraded toa PC 6300 PLUS with a simplereplacement of boards—yetanother proof of AT&T's commit-ment to protect customers' invest-ment in hardware as well assoftware.

Expandability• Serial and parallel ports, high-resolution color graphics support,and clock-calendar are built intothe PC 6300 PLUS. Seven slotsaccept most popular expansionboards.
