I ordered Amiga Minix 1.5 from Prentice-Hall directly and
ordered it from their MicroSystems division/department

The bill was $169 plus shipping and handling.

I assume that you contact the same folks and that the price would be the
same.

Not sure on this one, but I think that the PC processes are limited to 64K,
while that limit has been removed from the Amiga.  One thing to note is that
the C compiler only works on the 'small' memory model (64K instruction +
64K data space).
