For much te same reason I am actively against running PNX (PERQ Unix, 
basically a V7 derrivative) on classic PERQs.

If you want a unix box, then get a unix box (e.g. a PC running linux or 
*BSD). IMHO a PERQ should run POS (the original PERQ operating system, 
written mostly in a very extended Pascal). POS is better for running 
user-written microcode too...
