Damn. I'm home and can't look it up... But I believe I recall something
called (IIRC) "Micronix" (or something similar) that ran on a Godbout
or Morrow system. I have some hardware documentation for the system
that ran it - got it in anticipation of getting one of the S-100 CPU
boards.
The system had a memory paging system on top of a Z-80 and included
some fairly sophisticated protection (both memory and I/O) that would
have permitted a Unix-like system to operate securely.
I'll dig it up next week.

Well, and of course there's Minix (where Linux started)...
Any Unix clones for 8080/Z80 systems? It ought to be doable, given that the
original Unix was done on a 64KB address space machine...
