Nigel, how (generally) did you adapt

you have to write your own drivers for

If you have a
fast hard-drive you can run MINI-UNIX [1]:
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/bits/ATT/mini-unix_120679.zip
We had this running circa 1980 with two (or maybe three) terminals and
10MB Pertec fixed+cartridge disk system, LSI-11/03 with 56KB memory.
Before that we ran RT-11 [2] with foreground/background tasks and at
various times MU-BASIC (multi-user BASIC) [3].
