Hello,

I am considering purchasing MINIX for the Mac but I have a few questions
first....

1. I have a MacPlus with a 40mb disk and 1mb mem. (I would be willing to
upgrade to 2.5mb if necessary). Will MINIX run with some resonable amount of
performance on the configuration???

2. Is my understanding correct, that MINIX on the Mac runs like a normal Mac
application, not as the "true" operating system like on the PC version?? And if
so does this make it perform poorly??

3. Does the C compiler that comes with MINIX allow the use of the Mac Toolboxes
to use windows. etc in my applications???

Thanks,
Tom Ross
