"I am pleased to announce the initial (*very* initial) code drop of the
Fuzix OS. The goal of Fuzix is to provide a reasonably complete Systen 5
Unix experience without all the bloat. At this point in time the kernel
needs about 40K, plus memory for user space.
The Initially supported processor architecture is the Zilog Z80. The code
uses no "naughty" instructions so should run correctly on clones and
variants, as well as on things like the T80 FPGA core. The core code has
been built for 6809 and 6502 as a sanity test but more work would be needed
to bring up an actual platform. In theory if it's got 8bits and banked RAM
you can probably run Fuzix OS on it."

Thought it might interest some on the coco list..this is *not* something
you're going to install and play with as a user any time soon, but if you
ever felt like hacking on a coco Unix this might be a fun project to get
involved with.
