Unfortunately, Coherent doesn't do large model. After I talked to MW's 
people I cancelled my order, since I've already got Minix w/source, and
there didn't seem to be much point to getting Coherent. They told me
they only did small model so 286's could do quicker task switching. I,
of course, thought "what about all the 386/etc. machines" :-(.

Coherent seemed like an incredible deal until I found that out...
