286 plus Arachne plus JavaBlaster plus development equals...

SLOWEST NetPC.  :o)
My Tandy (286/8Mhz) was being used as a terminal for logging into
Linux for about 2 or 3 months.  Worked great except that Telix's
VT emulation is not very good.  I stripped some of the hardware
out of my Tandy and mixed them with other parts I had lying
around (386, 40M HD, Mono monitor).  I put Linux on the 386 and
am ppping the machine to my 486.  It isn't fully functioning yet,
but it works good.  I'm patiently awaiting a free vga monitor to
be donated to me, then I'm going to put the tandy back into
service.  When this happens I'm going to download minix and hope
that it is Tandy compatible.  Then I'll hopefully have a true
NetPC (also slow :o)

Has anyone ran minix on a Tandy?  If so, how much memory is
required?
