What I would really like to see more than anything else is virtual memory, though. You could put a memory management chip on the memory expansion boards, or replace the 68000 with a line to a board containing a 68000 with memory management. Probably the former would be preferable. This would enable the Mac to run 4.2bsd, although the porting effort would be significant. If it could be done under $2000, you would have a guaranteed market here at C-MU, since all students will soon be required to obtain a cheap 4.2bsd workstation (which one is under discussion) to hook up to the VICE network in early 1986. -=- Tim Maroney, Carnegie-Mellon University Computation Center ARPA: Tim.Maroney@CMU-CS-K uucp: seismo!cmu-cs-k!tim CompuServe: 74176,1360 audio: shout "Hey, Tim!"
