[COLUG] first Unix with demand-paged virtual memory

[Christopher Harting]

I ran Minix on a Tandy 1000 for a short time...
I threw out the Minix (5-1/4 floppy) disks not too long ago.  The Tandy died a few years before that.

The Tandy 1000 could possibly run MINIX, but not v-mem Unix.
I found it to be an interesting box, the only one I encountered
with an 80186 processor.  (Everyone else skipped from 8086 to 80286.)
