Always makes my day to see people still carrying the TI-hacking torch! :)

Any particular goals you want to achieve with this project?

I just want to see a nice Unix-like for these calcs. Eventually it'd be cool to have a bunch of slick stuff like a VFS and such, but for now I'll be happy once there's good math support and students can start using it.

TI-73: 6MHz Z80, 25K RAM, 512K mass storage PDP-11: ~4.5MHz, 16K RAM, >1M mass storage

CPU looks powerful enough and the amount of RAM is comparable to early Unix machines but you might run into storage space limitations.
