Perhaps this is heresy, by has anyone out there thought of plunking
Sun's version of Unix onto the MAC-II?  Since I've heard that Sun
now has a "University Source" tape, and given that all one would
have to do is write 68851 MMU code + a couple of device drivers,
such a thing is firmly within the realm of possibility.  I generally
have a lot more respect for Sun's version of Unix than Unisoft
Unix (A/UX folks?).  With Sun's Unix, you would automatically 
pick up access to their applications code base, have really good 
network + NFS code, NeWS/X ports, good compiler technology, etc.

Anyways, I would like to hear what people think.  If you're
wildly enthusiastic and would like to help out, I would be very
interested in hearing from you!
