I know there must still be something around somewhere! There are probably some Xenix-en around, some other ancient stuff as well, and there is minix for xt and 286. I've tried minix once (just for kicks.) It had the taste of a very early unix for pdp-11 with split data/instruction 64K address spaces (which is the way they implemented it in Minix, if I understand correctly.) I serioulsy doubt if either way is worth the effort. /Marino > > Thanks > > Chris > > >
