Mt Xinu has both 2.5/2.6 Mach kernels and 3.0 Mach microkernels available
for i386/486 boxes.

The base package includes:
        Mach 2.5 kernel and utilities (binary)
        4.3 BSD interface
        GNU utilities (GCC, GDB, GAS, EMACS, BISON)
        Networking:
                SUN NFS
                TCP/IP networking from the Berkeley Tahoe release
        X: The X Window System Version 11, Release 4 (R5 coming)
        On-line Documentation -  Complete source for Mach and 4.3 documentation

Optional Mach 3.0 Microkernel Add-on:
	-Complete Mach 3.0 microkernel source code
	-Complete build environment with tools to modify
	         and rebuild the Mach 3.0 microkernel
	-Binary BSD server which runs on top of the 
	         microkernel in place of the standard /vmunix kernel
	-Source for an example of a server (POE)
	         running on top of the Mach 3.0 microkernel
	         and sources for some utilities which are 
	         kernel-dependent   
	 (-mdos DOS server coming soon)

Optional Graphical User Interface Add-on, MUI, based on OSF/Motif(TM)
	MUI provides the standard components of the OSF/Motif technology:
	the extensible user interface toolkit, the user-applications
	programming interface, the user interface language, the familiar window
	manager, and complete on-line documentation.  MUI,
	which runs on top of X, is compatible with the standard
	Mach386 2.5 Mach kernel as well as the optional Mach 3.0
	microkernel.

30 days of free installation support; low-cost AutoSupport available after that.

Mach386 runs on most of the common AT-bus IBM PCs and compatibles such as
Compaq, Intel, Olivetti, Toshiba and Hewlett-Packard.  Pricing is $995
for the base package; Mach 3.0 and MUI are each an additional $195.

Memory Requirements:
For the complete system, 100 megabytes of disk space and 8 megabytes of memory.
For the base system, a minimum of 40 megabytes of disk and 4 megabytes of
memory.

Supported Devices:
        EGA, VGA, CGA and monochrome displays
        Color X windows supported on VGA boards via extended 8-bit color mode
        Toshiba and Toshiba-compatible floppy drives and controllers
        WD 1003/1007 compatible disk controllers (ESDI, ST506 or IDE hard 
                disk drives and controllers)
	Adaptec SCSI controllers, models AHA-1540/1542(B) with various disks
        SCSI tape (has been tested with Archive VIPER-150 and TUV DAT drives)
                (SCSI tape is only available via AutoSupport at this time.)
        Wangtek 1/4" standard 3M streamer (QIC tape)
 	i8250/16540/16550-based serial controllers (DOS COM lines)
        iMX-LAN/586 Ethernet board or Olivetti PC 586
	3COM 3C501 & 3C502 & 3C503 (Etherlink I & II) Ethernet controllers
	Western Digital 80x3 Ethernet controllers
        Serial mice (Mouse Systems, SummaMouse, Logitek, and Microsoft mice)
	        (Logitek MouseMan is not yet supported)
