It hasn't totally died. While we're not working on developing ELKS
directly, we are working on an application to run on it.

We plan to deploy old 8086's as single purpose computers in prisons,
halfway houses, rehab centers, third world countries, and other places
where it wouldn't make economic sense to put more valuable computers.
While the apps won't be embedded per se, since the computers will have
only one purpose that users will be able to access, they will have the
same practical functioning as an embedded system.

We expect to have an alpha demo of one of our smaller programs ready
within a month, maybe sooner. Here's a little more info:

If you have any interest in helping, we could use some input. I'm not
personally doing the coding for this project, myself. Inner Peace is
computer science applied to healing the human psyche. I'm stronger on
the human psyche part, and I have some folks who are stronger on the
computer science part working on the code part. From what I know, we'll
be using C and probably ncurses. It'll be all gpl, just like all the
Inner Peace software.
