	I own a 286 with 2 meg ram, 80meg HD (in actual 40meg st251 w/ a
perstor HD controller) and want to set it up as a program development system.
I am using MSC 6.0 but prefer gcc or other compilers that include the source
and are more UNIX compatible.  I have just discovered Minix from reading news
on the NET and would love to have it on the 286, but I am a student at UCB and
living on a limitted budget.  I wonder if there is anyone who has MINIX OS
preferably the latest version and would like to part with it for a low amount$
maybe $40 to $60 so I could set up the 286 for school works (is Minix BSD UNIX
compatible ? compiling C, Pascal ...) and do not have to camp-out in the
computer lab for the rest of my university life.
