Well, I could run unix with all 1536K, but not MS/PCDOS 3.2. So call it

the hardware was not a show-stopper.
But it was the 286 I did this on, not the earlier 8088, which I don't
think could reasonably have been expected to run unix; but the original
comment regarded the 80286.
Hello, Peter.
People have very short memories! Minix runs fine on an 8088:

I replaced a pdp11/34 running Unix version 7 with an 8086 running Minix!
Hmm... I wonder if anyone remembers Amoeba?
Tony.
