On the subject of Minix, how's the latest version of Minix for the Amiga
run?  I know older versions do not have hard drive support and won't
work on an Amiga 3000, but I got the file "aminix.lzh" off ab20 last
week and it looks like it supports hard drive usage.  I suspect that I
would also need the full version of Minix in addition to what comes with
this archive.  Is anyone running the latest version of Minix for the
Amiga off hard drive?  What I really want to know is  1) does it really
work off hard drive, and 2) will it run on an Amiga 3000?  It appears
that it may be some time before Commodore offers their Unix package
separately, but if I could at least run Minix on my A3000 off hard
drive, that would be pretty nice.
