The Sun version is also currently being upgraded to version 8 and includes virtual memory, multi-threaded processes, X, TCP, etc. Unfortunately, my own port is probably not redistributable and does not implement the networking code of version 7. However, it only took me 1 1/2 months at half time to execute my port (as well as add some more device drivers) so it would be a good beginning point. One advantage that the Sun version has over the Mac version is that it is much more machine independent so there would be less problems with having to emulate ROM routines, etc. To order Sun Xinu 7 (or 6), please see the order information below: Xinu Types and Price List Target Xinu Host Compiler Media Price Make Check Machine Version Operating Payable to System ------------------------------------------------------------------- LSI (@) 6 (Book I)Cross Compiler 1600 BPI $100 Douglas Comer Included 9-Track UNIX 4.3BSD UNIX Tar Tape LSI (@) 7(Book II)Cross Compiler 1600 BPI $200 Douglas Comer Included 9-Track UNIX 4.3BSD UNIX Tar Tape _____________________________________________________________________ 8086 (%)6 (Book I) Cross Compiler 1600 BPI $100 Douglas Comer Derived Included 9-Track UNIX from 4.3BSD UNIX Tar Tape LSI-11 ______________________________________________________________________ Sun3 (%)6 (Book I) Sun Micro- 1600 BPI $100 Shawn Ostermann Systems C 9-Track UNIX Sun OS Tar Tape Sun3 (%)7 (Book II)Sun Micro- 1600 BPI $200 Shawn Ostermann Systems C 9-Track UNIX Sun OS Tar Tape ______________________________________________________________________ Sun4 (%)8.0 VM Xinu Sun Micro- 1600 BPI $200 Jim Griffioen Systems C 9-Track UNIX Sun OS Tar Tape, or 1/4 inch cartridge ________________________________________________________________________ IBM-PC 6 PC-Xinu Microsoft C 5 1/4 floppy ~ $80 Contact Prentice (Book I) MS/DOS Hall ISBN #0-13-638271-1 IBM-PC (%)6 (Book I) Aztec C 5 1/4 floppy $100 Andy Thomas IBM-PC 7 (Book II) Microsoft C 5 1/4 floppy(5)$150 Contact T.
