really now, no need to get so impressed.. someone ported the UNIX V7
kernel to the Z80 (it's on SimTel, called UZI) -- you know, that old 4MHz
thing with 64K of RAM.. and besides, Linux-ELKS is already runnable on the
8086, there already is a shell and compilers and the usual fileutils.
so multitasking and even multithreading is certainly possible on
processors as small as these.
