Is there a software store in Chicagoland that keeps the Minix disks
(IBM-PC 5 1/4" Diskette version)?. Secondly, I note that the book on
OS's and Minix by Andrew Tanenbaum refers to the early Minix. Is there a
more detailed reference for the new version? What is the "slimmest"
working version---can one get it still?!---it would be best to have a
stable version that has {\em potential} to grow in suitable directions
according to ones needs rather than one that has already achieved
monster status.
Thanks in advance.
Kapil.
