[TRS-80 in-joke and pointer to OS source code with Les's name in the 
comments taken off-list...... suffice to say that Les actually has done 
(or worked on the code, at least for) my referenced conversion in Z80 
assembler for one of the TRS-80 operating systems]

Is the F19 ARM build workable?  (I know there are graphics module 
issues).  I might have to try that myself on my GuruPlug or one of our 
Pi's.  If F19 on ARM is stable enough, once the build chain is proven 
for x86_64 it shouldn't be too difficult for you or someone else to 
build from the source, taking F19 as the base for the buildsystem and 
initial buildroots.  I would expect the build would take a long time, 
though.
