I have an old Tandy 6000 which runs Xenix. But the version I have is rather lame. I would like to know if anyone out there has heard of a virtual memory demand-paged Xenix or Unix for this machine? I think it's a 8Mhz 68000 type cpu but I don't have a clue what's inside except that I think it has 256Kbytes of RAM. Anybody do anything interesting with one of these machines?

I didn't know Tandy 6000's were sold with less than 512k and most with 1 megabyte. You can get an MMU mod that allows up to 4 megabytes under 3.02.00 (and it does drastically improve performance).
