Porting unix to Laserwriter IINT

We have a spare Laserwriter around here not doing very much. So,
we were thinking of using it as a unix box. With 2 megs of memory
and a 68020, it certainly has the necessary hardware. The hard
disk that stores the fonts is a suitable swap device and could even
hold a few user files. Of course, we'd have to develop virtual memory 
routines and/or hardware. If anyone has had experience with such a project, 
please send me e-mail.  We are also wondering if there are any unix kernels 
written in PostScript.

Thanks!
