Sun-3s talk to MINIX !!! That's the point !!

I remember the Sun-3 AMOEBA driver for UNIX couldn't be posted by Dr. Tanenbaum
because it required changes in the SunOS 3.X kernel. "This should change
with the new SunOS release", he stated.

Well, SunOS 4.0.[13] is out and running (at least on our SUNs).

Will you post such a driver, Dr. Tanenbaum ? I'm shure, lots of people
would find that more than only useful, don't you, folks ?

	Hoping for good news
