I have heard tell (from a very reliable source) of a version of Unix
<written for the Radio Shack Model 100 (8085, 32K max). (And no, it's no
<available, and yes, he's tried to get the company that did it to release

Call me skeptical, 8085 is far less code efficient that z80.

<I thought someone had said that CP/M was based on Unix? Or was that on
<of the PDP opsys?

CP/M was based on OS/8 and RT-11, it is very un-unix. DEC Ultrix-11 and
Ultrix-32 are both unix based on BSD versions.
