In reply to ForOldHack. Unix without a MMU is a dangerous dangerous thing. I would suggest checking out SIM-H, you can simulate that VAX-11/780 you've always wanted, but never could afford, let along had anywhere to put, or any real way to justify the power..

I tried to compile these sources under Xenix -86 2.1.3, on a Turbo XT, with 2 30 Mb hard disks, one for source, and the other for temp and swap…

It ran through about 15 of the source files, and crashed the file system into an unrecoverable state. Needless to say, we scapped Xenix, and only ran with DOS and Windows 1.0.3, but hack for DOS was reliable. Sources never surfaced.

Thanks, I will add this to my Xenix adventure!

Sadly it is offline 🙁

I should do another VAX thing that I can run in the cloud….
