  I am thinking that it might be possible to port Minix to my computer.  It
  is only an Apple IIGS but I think it could handle Minix (at least as well
  as an 8088 based system). 

  I've got an ANSI C compiler and so I was exited when I heard that Minix is
  now ANSI C.  

  What would be the best version of Minix to buy?  All I want is the plain
  vanilla C code (I might try to add support for a 68881 co-processor if I
  can ever afford one).

  Since Apple is really no longer going to do anything for my computer I 
  thought I'd take it on myself to make sure that I can do something with
  my computer.  I think it'd be a lot of fun to be able to run Minix.
