There was a little Unix-like system called MARC (Machine Assisted Resource
Coordinator),
written by Ed Ziemba. Unfortunately, Ed met an untimely death in a
recreational accident,
so it was never really finished. MARC used CP/M for a host boot, and the
versions that I
tinkered with used the CP/M BIOS for I/O to the disk.

Actually, there
was a thingy called PC/IX which ran on those non
memory-managed systems. I actually managed to snag a copy a few years ago.
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...
