UNIX like any other multiprocessing OS is very unstable with out
hardware memory management.  Even on a system that would be a
'single user' only environment, that user would want to run more
than one process at a time (printing, mail, uucp).  With out the memory
management hardware crashing one program would could crash everything, yuck.

The 520 nor the 1040 have this hardware, although it could probably
be tack on.  So if you need a ls fix from your 520, look into UNIX-like
shells that run on it.
