RE:"Cool in the extreme! What kind of program was it?"

Network firmware (~500 pages in tight knitted Z80 assembler), extreme memory constrain (both for pgm and data), real time heavy load constrain, multi-host multi-terminal (pollable)... on a 4Mhz no-dma single-Z80 system 24 UART ports.

But my best accomplishment was the time-sharing system for the university all home made deserving ~400 terminals on the campus, in the 70's.

RE:"I think you sort of come at the LINUX effort from a different place than I do."

No, I was out before LINUX arrived.
