	Hi all,
		Just wondering if anyone has/is going to do/ a MINIX port
for the Amiga. You know, the operating system Tannenbaum(sp?) wrote. It would
be kind of neat to have something that takes over Exec's place, but still
uses the Amiga hardware (timers) for preemptive task switching.
	Actually, the AmigaDOG is already pretty close to minix in many re-
spects (no memory protection, no swapping, etc.), so I can't imagine it
would be *too* difficult to port. Any info would be appreciated.

		Thanks,
