: Coherent and Minix are available in '286 flavors, but neither are BSD
: Unices.

: 'Are' may be a poor choice of words, though.  I haven't heard much

: newsgroup.  They may be able to help you with something.

Coherent 3.2 is still available from MWC for the 286.  I don't believe
that they are doing any development on it, but it is available.
