Carson City, Nevada-based Cubix Corp, which under its previous name of L/F Technologies
 Inc claimed sales of around 25,000 TurboDOS systems, has now released the 80386-based
 version of its cube-shaped Cubix system, which is available immediately. The Cubix 3
 comes with from 4Mb to 16Mb of memory, up to 2.2Gb of disk storage and a 125Mb back-up
 tape drive, and floppy disk drive in two sizes. It runs Unix System V.3 and supports
 up to 32 users, offloading the main processor with direct memory controllers for serial
 input-ouput handling. An external SCSI port enabled connection of optical disk and
 magnetic tape drives, and the entry level price in the UK is UKP12,000. 

Cubix is bundling JSB Computer's Multiview windowing software onto each system; other
 software includes the Informix and Oracle relational database managers, and Dataflex, plus
 office automation software from Quadratron and Uniplex. Cubix also offers C, Cobol and 
Basic languages and 3270 SNA, X25 packet switching, and Ethernet communications facilities.
 CubixNet, based on Intel Corp's high-speed Open Systems Interconnection standard OpenNet
 product, supports the connection of micros running MS-DOS to the host computer. 

Cubix Corp recently acquired Los Angeles-based Intercontinental Micro Systems and has taken
 on its range of Quicklink add-on boards: these currently provide network slots on an 
MS-DOS micro to link other micros or low-cost terminals to the host, running Novell 
NetWare, but a spokesman said the company was "working to integrate the products more
 closely with our existing systems".
