UKC - it seems that V6 will be easier than V7, partially because
of the Lions commentary - but mainly because 286 protected mode
gives a very similar handling on memory management as the PDP did.
What a silly argument. V6 and V7 both run on the PDP-11, so the memory
management hardware used by them both are the same.
And while I'm not familiar with the 286 protected mode, I have heard
people before claim that it is horrendous compared to the MMU on the
PDP-11.
