I would like to see any technical writeups which describe the hardware
deficienies in the 65816 which prevent preemptive multitasking.  You see,
I have seen lots of writeups saying that the 65816 is faster than 8088's,
etc. and I KNOW that Unix version 6 ran on the oldest PDP 11's, which were
no speed daemons themselves.  So if minix, venix, etc. can run on these 
junky little ibms, then why in the world couldnt it be ported to the 65815
with an address space of 8+ meg!!!
