It seems as though there was considerable interest in
Porting Unix v6 to

wondering if anyone has made any headway in the project and would like to
share their experience.
I've been mulling over something like this for some time. I haven't
actually gotten very far because:
1) I hadn't found an open-source, 16-bit x86 C compiler that could run
in 64K+64K. It looks like there may be some suitable candidates now.
2) My planned target system succumbed to old age. (The HDD failed and
the bios only provides a choice of specific 80 or 120MB sizes).
