    This is identical to my timeline/experience. I put minix on the same system, and maybe even an 8088 (I think minix worked on 8088, but the linux kernel did NOT). I put that 20MB MFM harddrive to good use.

    Yeah Minix worked on an 8088, I had it running on an Epson Equity I
    XT for awhile. I don't remember if the version with the virtual memory patches worked on it or not, though. I had a 30MB RLL on that one. ;)

    I toyed around with Minix on my Tandy 1000 TL.. or maybe it was
    an old XT I had sitting under the desk at home... not sure.

    I was talking about it in '95 so I was doing _something_ with it :P

    Back then, I was running a 286 under my desk as a caching name server, web server and mail server on MINIX. My desktop at the time was a Pentium-100 system. Why run MINOX on sch ancient hardware? Because I could. :)
