ARM based machines (i.e. the Acorn Archimedes) are very quick indeed, and are very cheap for the power also. A PD Unix for that box would be a good thing. Porting a version already ported to a 32bit machine with a linear address space and a paged memory mapping unit wouldn't do any harm either. Comments? Brian Thompson.
