- You need the _Technical Reference Manual_ for the UNIX-PC. It is
- the only 3B1 manual in 8.5X11 format, and is hard to find. Keep your eyes
- open for it in this newsgroup.
-
- BTW - Tel your friend that the 3B1 has a maximum virtual memory size
- of 4MB (as well as the same limit on physical memory). If s/he thinks that
- this is adequate for the needs, then good luck, and post your results as
- things go. There will be *lots* of interest in this. The theoretical
- possibility of this has been discussed to death here, with the result that
- nobody has ever done it.
-
- Good Luck
- DoN.
