Jerry -- here's an idea for your friends at Godbout...

I wish one of the S-100 manufacturers of a 68K cpu board for the S-100
bus (Godbout, Dual, Cromemco, ERG, ...) would package Unix with their
68K board.  I'd love to throw away my Z80 cpu and roll my own Unix
system with the remaining S-100 parts (chassis, memory, peripherals)
rather than junking it and buying into the UnixBox market at $8-20K.

What you'd need would be a relocatable version of the Unix kernel into
which you'd bind your own home-made device drivers and real-time clock;
you'd have to create a file system on your hard disk and install a
customized version of the booter.  This may be beyond the ability of
most S-100 users, but then...  we figured out how to use SYSGEN and
MOVCPM and how to customize our BIOS, didn't we?
