Note that Minix is a low cost source of a unix-like operating system which currently runs on 8088 and higher processors. I dont know how much work it would be to port it to the GS, but at least one university had some students port it to the Mac... P.S. I certainly would be interested in such a project. It seems bizarre to me that a 8+ meg machine, capable of supporting multiple 32meg hard disks, does not have an os with pipes, multi-tasking, etc. I dont need multi-users. I have tried to pass along to the os/9 folks that the GS might be an interesting possible market, but they dont seem to think that there would be enough sales. -- Larry W.
