I know we've talked about alternative OSes back... oh maybe years ago now...

But I can't remember and can't find them... did anyone mention Contiki 
as a possible alternative OS for the Model-T?


Through various convolutionsĀ  (I started out looking for info on 
DesqView) I came across the wikipedia entry for the Contiki OS... which 
I remember running on the C64...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contiki

It supposedly runs in as little as 30K rom (10K ram), and there would of 
course be the problem of working around the no-relative-jump 
instructions for the 8085.

One of the nice things is that Contiki includes a TCP/IP stack. 
Obviously SSL and SSH would be impossible, but it would still allow for 
network communications of some kind.

Now I'm wondering if the TCP/IP stacks from Contiki couldn't just be 
lifted and duplicated to be placed in a ROM on the Model T?
