Obviously 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;
No problem running unix on a 8086.. (Don't forget Xenix on 8086 or
80286) Or, for that matter, on a 68000. (maybe the 68010 with the
mmu or the 020 with virtual memory?.. I seem to remember DRAM refresh
by 64 NOPs on the timer tick)
