We have a spare Laserwriter around here not doing very much. So, we were thinking of using it as a unix box. With 2 megs of memory and a 68020, it certainly has the necessary hardware. The hard disk that stores the fonts is a suitable swap device and could even hold a few user files. Of course, we'd have to develop suitable virtual memory routines and/or hardware. If anyone has had experience with such a project, please send me e-mail. -- Eric McCaughrin "Don't give me any of that intelligent life stuff, mccaughe@cs.rpi.edu just find me something I can blow up."
