From Bob Little:

   I'm interested in using XINU for one of my classes.

   Please send any information which may be helpful to me
   to get XINU to run on a PC.

I'm also planning to use PC-XINU in an OS course this coming spring
semester.  There is a version of Comer's text, co-authored with Tim
Fossum, that is based on a PC version of XINU.  The details:

      Operating System Design Volume I The XINU Approach
      Douglas Comer, Timothy Fossum
      Prentice Hall, 1988
      ISBN 0-13-638180-4 (v. 1)

The PC-XINU source code is also available.  I have an old (c. 1986)
version of the source that predates the version of XINU discussed in
the text.  Unfortunately, I'm having a lot of trouble locating the
current version of the source.

Please let me know if I can be of any other help.
