|But V.4 is already running on 386-class machines!  (That's where it was

|So...what sort of machine were you wanting to see it ported to?

I want to see (and expect to see) shrink-wrapped V.4 kernel binaries
for 386 PCs. Not "386 machines", that could be a Sun 386i. Not PCs,
that could be an 8088 box.
