There are several implementations of UNIX-like operating systems,
with multitasking, on the MMU-less IBM PC and compatibles.  However
it is done, it seems to be at least nominally compatible with UNIX.
What methods are used here?  Could they be applied to a 68000-based
system?  Am I missing the point entirely?  (Perhaps PC UNIX's
fork() does NOT act like real UNIX.)
