> FreeBSD for the NCR Tower! Yes! Yes!

I was thinking about this a while ago.

A Tower32 wouldn't be that hard (given the NetBSD HP300 port), but
a Tower16 would be a bugger... unfortunately, the only NCR hardware
I know is lying around somewhere is a Tower16.

Maybe we should abstract the VM dependencies and services provided
from a dependency on a full PMMU?  Then you could port to the Tower16,
the Tandy 6000, and the 80286, if you wanted.

...Just a bizarre thought...
