Well, it was close...

>As far as I know, that Unix 128 (version 3.0 or something) 

Unix 128 went to version 3.1, it was dropped by the programmer after that in
favor of Sun, UNIX and Vax programming.
Pity though, i thought it was a great way to get aquainted with Unix and its
variants.

JOS? Don't know that one. But what i _do_ know is that multitasking is
impossible on a C64/128, it could do taskswitching though.

However, back when my 128 still worked, i have had a tool that used the
processor in whatever floppydrive you had as a copro. All drives you have could
be used to that purpose. (but it was advisable to leave 1 drive untouched or you
wouldn't have drive access).
Something like a rudimentary Breowulf cluster, only slower :-)

Hold on, it was not really a tool but a demo, but it came with VisAss sources so
that the code could be incorporated in your own code. Alternatively, the program
could be called from floppy IIRC.

Ah... The C64/128 could have come furter that it already went....
