This one might just be the ticket... Thanks a bunch, Leigh

I bet MacMinix (*) would work. I haven't used it. It's very small--
with source code, 8 floppies-- and you don't even need a hard drive!
I think it runs in a MacOS window, so the video should be handled
automatically. You'll probably want to use vi instead of Emacs, and
I'm not sure if the C compiler is gcc but I think gcc is available.
I might try it out myself on a Duo 250, if I get the time...
Yes, but big SCSI laptop drives are pretty scarce.
(*) What I think I remember about Minix-- it was developed when AT&T
stopped letting colleges use the actual Unix source code for classes.
It was originally designed for early PCs (8088s and up!) and designed
so that students could recompile their systems with two floppies and
no hard drives. The complete source code is in the developer's book,
which I think was called _Introduction to Operating Systems_. BTW,
the developer's name is Andrew Tannenbaum (if I've spelled it
correctly).
