Yes, a Z80 system is usually too small but either a bank-switched
Z80 system (with lots of memory) or a HD64180 (with lots of memory too)
could be used. It won't be that nice but the original Minix (on a PC/XT)
has a limitation of 64K/process that could be mapped to the address
space of the Z80, the HD64180 would even have the mapping curcuit on
the chip.
