I know that this question probably won't be answered, simply because there
are only a few of us left.  Back in 1985 I was foolish enough to buy
into non-clone hardware, because the machine was functionally superior
to the IBM PC.  I have a Tandy 2000 with 720KB memory, MSDOS 2.11, 
640x400 graphics, and non-standard bus (EuroCard format).  Its BIOS and
graphics memory are repositioned, so the OS and applications have access
to 720KB instead of the usual 640KB.

Now my laughable question.  Is there another poor, foolish, but honest
citizen out there who has ported minix to their Tandy 2000?  What tools
are necessary to rewrite the terminal and disk drivers and such?
