Glad to hear at least a couple of people out there are using elks. I just rescued a t1100+ from a recycling pile, and have elks working on it pretty well. Patrick, I was glad to find your website, it inspired me to rescue this ancient laptop, and the disks you posted there helped me get started (though I'm not sure how to make boot floppies from the toshiba dos files you have on there).
A couple of questions for anyone using elks:
I am trying to get a development environment going on the toshiba. as86 and ld86 run fine on them. Has anyone had luck compiling/running bcc and libc in elks? I want to be able to do development on the system I am developing for!
Also, what are people using in the way of editors? vi and elvis don't really seem to work. I like e3-16 but it is disgustingly slow on this machine.

thanks in advance. I guess i doesn't surprise me that there isn't too much active development to revive 1986 technology (is the 8086 still in production?)
