I think 1 MB of RAM may be sub-optimal even for Xenix, but adding the
brain-damaged SX chip is even worse. Also, isn't this somewhat of an
ancient version? Add them all together, you got trouble. Also, you don't
got enough RAM to run anything more than ls without swapping. Get another meg!

See what I mean? It's not the software per se.
