Excuse me, but I must have missed the original question posted to the
net. Basically, I am interested in it, because I am the main kernel
architect of UNIX* System V/286 ( the AT&T sanctioned port to the 286 ).
If you don't like the fact that NONE of the current ports to the 286
are full System V ( and available ), then you should write your own
drivers and use the sanctioned port. We have gone to great pains to make
the V/286 act like a VAX ( in terms of functionality ), and we have closed
up many holes that the other ports have in terms of ability to crash
the kernel. Since the port should have been announced at Uniforum,
I would like to hear from anybody with a UNIX ( or UNIX-like )
operating system that runs on any 286 based box ( especially the
Intel 286/310 ), specifically in terms of crashes ( panics ) that
you have found. I will be more than happy to discuss the
( non-proprietary ) aspects of the problems.


*UNIX is a trademark of AT&T Bell Laboratories ( whenever I remember )
