I think it should be possible with 1 MByte RAM and a 20M Harddisk. Apple has done something like this for their MacIntosh, but if I understand it correctly, Apple and some others (Tektronix et al) had some deal with Xerox about special licensing. So maybe it would not be possible to sell such an implementation because the license fees are much too high. Does anyone know more about the feasibility of such a thing ? We could do it here just to test it, a BS II port to a Sys V machine has been done by Georg Heeg here and is running very well. Hans-Martin Mosner University of Dortmund, Germany
