A couple of nights ago Andy Tanenbaum talked about Minix.  He said
that in order to solve one of those 'last bugs' he wrote a PC similator
for his Vax.  He said that the complete source is included on the Minix
tar tape which is available from Prentice Hall for $80.  I doubt it
will run PC software, since it probably simulates the PC not the PC with
BIOS.  Good luck.
