Is it possible a unix or linux for 80286 machine (or any machine without memory page mechanism) -


is possible have unix os 80286 machine (or machine without paged memory mechanism segmented memory)?

80286 cpu without tlb, page tables; segmented virtual memory , segmented protection of memory.

is possible have linux on such machine?

upd: processor old, ask historic versions, not ultra modern linux 2.6.42.11 or solaris 13 or freebsd 10 or ...

the linux/microcontroller project (µclinux) port of linux systems without memory management unit (mmu).

there's older elks project too.

however, due lack of mmu, many standard unix features (like fork , mmap) not supported.
