Looks like Movitz is ia32 only, I'm afraid --- so it probably won't work
on ia16 machines (a.k.a i86).
Have you tried Minix 2? It will run quite happily on an 8086 with 640kB
of RAM, although it does tend to run out of memory if you do too much
stuff. It might be able to talk to the Toshiba's EMS system for swap
space, though. It'll give you a Unix-alike that while being rather
slower than ELKS, is considerably more mature. (Dual-booting Minix and
ELKS might be rather useful if you want to do ELKS development. It ought
to be possible to cross-compile ELKS from Minix.) It's also got a big
library of software designed to run in a split 64/64 address space,
which means it should be easy to port to ELKS.
With regard to the mailing list and other resources (CVS, etc), it might
be worth considering relocating wholesale to Sourceforge...
