One could easily port Minix from the MMU-less Amiga (A500/A1000/A2000) to it, or drop a 68010 in there and go with a demand-paged VM scheme and "real" UNIX. A 68K-family processor w/MMU might be tough in an S-100 form-factor, but MMU-less should be easy; just add disk controller and go. Did anyone make S-100 SCSI? One could roll ones own, but that's a different level of expense. -ethan
