The price depends on where you buy it. When I go to the university CO-OP
bookshop, they ask just over $150 for MINIX 1.5 and claim that the retail
price is over $200 (I never believed these people, They wont even let you
have a look at the manuals to see what you are really getting. They told
me that P-H send them an empty box for display.... :-O

Anyway, CO-OP claims that they will only sell computer software to members
so if you are not a member you'll have to fork out about $15 bucks to join.
BTW It is a life membership.
