There will probably be IBM and Atari MINIX demo disks for about $10.
They won't be out until the Fall.  Each one will have the O.S., shell,
and about 20 simple filters, plus mined.  The constraint is that it
has to fit on 360K.  That is a given from PH--one diskette.  Needless
to say, no sources.  The Amiga is technically impossible (boot image
and file system use different recording formats); Macintosh?  I don't
know.  It depends on Joe Pickert.
