There is a 'Minix Centre' in Nottingham, UK, which has been
advertising in several magazines for a few months now.  Does anyone
know about them?  If they're a) enthusiastic b) competent and c)
support the ST, they might be a good group to co-ordinate Minix
upgrades on the ST, at least for Europe.  They wouldn't have to write
everything themselves, just take people's fixes & upgrades, test them,
liaise with Andy, and distribute (P-H allowing) the 'official' new
versions.  Did I say 'just'?  Sounds like a lot of work.
