O.K. Here's a real good one for you. Laugh your heart out...
Has anyone ported Unix to a CP/M (or any Z-80) machine?
Or, Is there a C compiler that is big and generic enough (or a Unix source
that is generic enough) to compile the system?
Heeeeeeeeee.............

P.S. Hey; don't give me anything like "Z80 is too slow; too weak; too
small," 'cause, architecturally speaking, with current technology, there
is no problem with coming up with a Z80 that runs at 100 MHz, and we all
know about memory mappers, don't we? How about an FPU?bill@sigma.UUCP (William Swan) (07/05/89)

At least one version was distributed on the net recently under the name UZI. I haven't tried it out so I can't comment on whether (or how well) it works, although I recall it really needed a fast disk because of the swapping it does. -- Bill Swan entropy.ms.washington.edu!sigma!bill Send postal address for info: Innocent but in prison in Washington State for 13.5 years: Ms. Debbie Runyan: incarcerated 01/1989, scheduled release 07/2002.

Yes.
It's called U.Z.I. (Unix Z80 Implementation). Source is on Simtel (I think),
also on GEnie, or try this BBS:

Yes, there is a Unix for Z-80. It's called UZI (neat name, yes?)
I have the source, I think Simtel has it as well. It is in C with
a potload of inline assembler. It was posted to comp.unix.sources
a few months ago.
Laugh, and let me know if it works.
