  There is an image of 0.97 pl 1 +,  I am using it, it was done by Martin
  Janius,  except I forgot where it was from... Umm  It's the mj-xx stuff.
  There is also a ps and top and etc that works with this pathed version.

  I was able to compile gcc with < 2mb of ram with this release, amazing
  stuff.  With 5mb it's amazing!!!   Can compile gcc 1.40, + another
  large program + do editing with a fair response time..... On a 25 mhz
  386!!!    (All at once I meant.)    Btw did I read somewhere that it's
  bad to use disimilar sized sims, I have 80ns + 70ns + 9 chip + 3 chip
  + 256 + 1m all together,  works fine except sometimes a hard reset is
  required to get the boot disk to boot...??


  mj stuff was on banjo but there is another site that has mj- stuff.

  I will post when I remember the address of it..
