I truthfully
can't see a good reason to install Unix on one of these
systems these days. You should be able to get a PC that will do it
better and faster for free.
It's just nice as a museum exhibit though, if we're able to show it
running both a windowing environment and a real Unix with networking
too.
But if you want to use the system as a museum exhibit, wouldn't it be
best to show it running it's original OS? I can see loading Unix if
the OS wasn't available, but for the TT030 it is.
Besides, how
much RAM does your TT030 have?
Ahh, 'only' 4MB on this one I think. Just enough for running BSD I
believe though. I did come across some info on the web on how to
increase the memory in them, but there's too much work to be done on
other things to justify spending a huge amount of time messing around
with this!
I think that might have been the basic amount, that's how much mine has.
