I just obtained the PC Minix demo disk off the net** and gave it a
try.  It was quite neat and very well done.  However, the machine I
have at home is a Mac, not a PC.  Is there a demo version for the Mac?
I'd like to try it there before ordering.

 ** Someone recently asked how to get the demo off the the internet
machine and onto a PC floppy.  Here is my (non-)answer.  I used an
IBM RT running AIX.  On it, dd if=demo-disk-file of=/dev/rfd0 did
the job.  I know nothing aboes MS DOS.
