Tandy 1000TX and 1400LT

Minix will run on the 8088..(If my memory serves correctly) It'll run
off of a 360K floppy if you feel like swapping disks.. (A couple of
1.44 3.5" floppies made a better system tho)

I've got the white binder from Prentice-Hall around here somewhere if I
felt like digging.. Too bad I don't think I've got anything that'll read
those 360K floppies anymore.. (If they're still good.) :-)

Ameoba required the 386 (as did Minix-386 - of course)
