elksfs removed from ELKS kernel; EMS memory needed

Upon close examination of a "diff" between the filesystems "minix" and 
"elksfs" I have concluded that elksfs is merely a clone of minix, with 
changes for the new name but nothing of real value. This effectively 
means that the minix filesystem was included in entirety in the ELKS 
kernel source TWICE. There seems to be zero documentation specifying the 
layout of elksfs, and zero tools that create one, thus to me it is quite 
clear that elksfs never came to actually exist. I have removed it and 
pushed the removal to Git, reducing the total ELKS kernel code by 75 KiB 
and removing some unnecessary configuration options.

Next on the chopping block: everything that depends on CONFIG_NOT_NOW is 
potentially vaporware and/or bloat, though some of it looks potentially 
useful. I've acquired the LIM EMS 4.0 specification from:
http://www.arl.wustl.edu/~lockwood/class/cs306/class-resources/gpe/limems41.doc.html
And I would like to develop support for expanded memory, possibly tying 
into the swap subsystem. Does anyone on the list have some hardware with 
EMS memory for testing?
