Has anyone out there (more likely Europe or Australia) ported / seen / etc.
a version of MINIX for an Apricot PC or PC/Xi micro.  Would anyone who can
answer "yes" please send me details via personal mail.  I'll post a summary
-- that way we'll keep our LAN-scape clean.

Failing the above ... how much hardware information does one need to port
MINIX to a non-IBM compatible 8086 PC like an Apricot ?  

The Apricot also has an 8089 I/O processor, has anyone seen MINIX drivers 
to work with these beasts ?

A thousand thanks to those reading,
