*nix on "classic" systems

Hi,

  > For low-resource x86 computing, you can run Minix on an 808x....

I dabbled with Minix on my Atari ST around 1988(ish), surprisingly I've 
never come across a copy of the x86 version though.

<synapses sluggishly coming to life> Now you mention it, I have an unopened 
copy of SCO *SOMEWHERE* which I picked up about 15 odd years ago....I knew 
it would come in handy one day! ;-)

Might be worth digging out....

And I'm pretty sure I have an IBM "Xenix" development kit stashed away 
somewhere too!

Yikes, I'd forgotten all about "Coherent". I remember the ads they used to 
take out in "Byte" (in fact I think there's a review of it in one of my old 
Bytes).
