Interesting how do you intend to emulate MMU ?

I do believe that at one time someone was working on an 8086 (ie pre
386) version of Linux but I think the project died.

But a 6502 version of linux would be an amazing jump in geekishness.

I assume you would be creating a very very stripped down kernel given
the limited memory (64K) without bank switching.

I have got to admire your "climb a mountain because it's there" attitude
.... ;-)
