[TUHS] UNIX on (not quite bare) System/370

[Luther Johnson]

I'm in the process of building a system like that for myself, but 
perhaps a little smaller - mine will be based on an embedded 
microprocessor I've developed (so much work still yet to do ! at least a 
year out). But are you familiar with the V7 port that Robert Nordier has 
done ? It's been mentioned here before:

Here is his web site:
