In my never-ending search to find people out there who use TRS-80 stuff... Has anyone out there got UZI (Unix Z80 Implementation) running on his or her TRS-80 model III or IV? Specifically, I'd be interested in the floppy, tty, and hard disk drivers. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Specifically, I'd be interested in Whaa? I've never heard of this UZI thing (just a nifty little gold-plated thing under the mattress, but that's a different Uzi). What a gas... something that looks like Unix running on a decade-old machine with a whopping 48K. I'd be interested in hearing more about this.

You can pull it off of SIMTEL, it's in the PD2:<CPM.UZI> directory. A nice no-frills (the way God intended) simplified version of the 7th Edition Unix kernel and written in C. Its just the kernel, no commands, but those you can hack MINIX ones to fit. It claims to be able to run v7 Bourne shell iwthout modifications. Requires 64K (the kernel itself fits in 32K), not the whopping 48K you mentioned, and either a hard disk or lots of memory for a RAM disk, since it does a swap after every context switch. So... has anyone out there managed to make it work on his or her TRS-80? -- | flame me at: lennox@minilove.diag.stratus.com, (Craig Scott Lennox) | |"Oh boy, virtual memory!
