V7 UNIX on an 8088. Not even a hard disk. I knew you could. Actually, the original PC could run V7 just fine. I was using Xenix on an XT at one time. It was nearly as good as an 11/23, at a fraction of the price... and better than some of the more bizzarre System-III based releases out at that time. (this has little to do with Forth any more.
