   :Here, take my 10 year old copy of Minix. BTW, is anybody up to
   :speed on the current state of Minix? I have an itch to run *ix on
   :a 128K 8086 box, and it doesn't look like ELKS is ready for prime
   :time.

minix is onto version 2 now; it's going the way of all unices by the
looks of things. (kernel cpu detection, 32-bit mode, ram preferences
listed in the megabytes region..) if you want to run it on a 128k
system, best stick with that 10 year old copy. or rewrite uzi to run.

btw... does anybody have a copy of the 16-bit coherent that they'd like
to pass on? any version, the older the better.
