I would like to hear from anyone who has managed to get Unix
running on an S100 system at all resembling mine:
	
	Compupro box, 8085/8088 CPU, 256K static ram, 
	System Support board,  Interfacer 4, 
	Tandon  5 1/4"(5 Meg) winnie, 
	2 - 8" Qume floppies with Disk 1 controller.

I realize that I will probably need a new CPU (I suppose, a 68K), and
possibly more memory. Also, I have yet to purchase the disk controller
for the winnie.  What I would like to do is to avoid having to scrap 
any of the other boards - it appears that if I go the Dual route (if
this is even possible), I will have to purchase a new I/O board,
another clock, a special Eprom board, not to mention the CPU and disk
controller.

I hope there is another way. Any ideas?
