Even QNX seems pretty cool - I've tried the demo. If I can get my hands on one
of these nifty things and just drop the generic QNX dialup stuff from the demo
disk in place of their hardwired one, I'm hoping I can run QNX with the ISP
of my choice. If not, I'll probably put BeOS on it.
<One of the links I posted earlier mentions that there are two related Linu
<distro's in the works. One will fit on a 500MB HD, the other will fit on
<the SanDisk.
Gee, I hate to tell you this but, I just installed RH5.2 on a 500mb drive
no problem. So I put Openlinux2.3 on it to see the difference. It's very
doable. I've got an old copy of FreeBSD 2.2.6 that would runs just fine
on a st3660(500mb). Also I've been running NT4.0/sp4 worktstation on
486dx2/66 in 500mb (310mb free). NT for that box may be problematic due
to drivers for video and all.
Another OS that is a good candidate is MINIX2.02 as the whole can fits on
40mb with sources. I've run it on 10mb disk and 4mb ram. There is MinixVM
also.
I think there are plenty of possible OSs for that toy. Most all of them
run some emulator we'd like to use.
