ELKS is Embedded Linux Kernal System. It's a very small memory model of
linux to fit on say an 8086/8 (xt) system.
It's earlier unix cousin for z80 was UZI...
<Or... dare I say it... linux on a TRS-80 Model 100/102/200??? :)
No way, UZI is fairly tight and minimal V7 and want 32k for itself and 32k
for apps and a disk (hard disk) to implement total swapping of the swapable
sections of the app or UZI.
UNIX and varients are a relatively large system OS and doesn't fit well
on most 8bit cpus especially if written in C due to code inefficentcy

(common on PDP11 and other minis). The 8086 is a bit better but the
segmentation makes it messy again.

I've seen our ISP's linux guru do this before... It can be done, I just
don't know how.

Hi there,
Does anyone know what an Epson Equity III+ is? Is it just a PC clone, or
is there something special about this machine?
I saw one in the window of a pawn shop last week. The case design was
pretty cool, but if I had to guess, it looked like it might have been a
Hercules monitor sitting on top of it.

I don't have access to network cards (except maybe ARCNet, which I couldn't
run on my P*****), and I was wondering if there is a way to have a transparent
null modem-based network. IE, could I connect two computers with a null modem,
and then change to the other computer's drive by typing x: (or mount
/dev/hdxxx, or whatever).

Yep. Which just goes to show one point I had in the back of my mind
at the time: HP's model numbering scheme comes maddeningly close to
making sense.

I think I have one of these in storage, with a daisywheel printer.
Haven't tried doing anything with it yet.
Mine was used as a dedicated word processor (which was CPT's main
business IIRC). There was no documentation with it; the company that
bought them probably had it but had a staff member train the users,
and the user I got mine from had it installed in her home.

There is probably a microprocessor inside, but it was sold as a disc
drive, maybe with a cartridge tape drive that uses the block-formatted
HCD tapes (like 9144s). I think the disc drive has about 130MB
capacity. Good for old HP 9000s and maybe 3000s; in fact it would
look very nice next to a 9000 series 540.
HP 79xx and 91yx (for y>1) are usually storage of some sort. (9111 is
a graphics tablet.)

That's called a "dimple-top".

What is it? Is it a Compaq Portable-style contraption? What processor? What
OS? What apps?
