Unix in least RAM, was Re: [rescue] Cheap RAM?

[Ken Hansen]

How in the hell could you justify the expense of shipping it?

Ethernet is almost literally impossible to find/arrange...

Speed is *slooooow* - relative to todays systems - even it's contemporaries
;^)

The "official" OS choices were, uhm, incomplete - you could make it *look*
like RSX-11M+ (PO/S + Toolkit), run Venix (ask James, he didn't like it), or
RT-11.

RAM is a staggering 512K...

But, it is a neat box...

I'm keeping mine, just hoping for a suitable suite of software for it (OS,
apps, lang, etc.)
