MiniUNIX was a distilled down V6 kernel.  Certain things were removed
(noticably pipes) and things had to be linked to start at 1000 to
make up for the lack of memory management.  The scheduling/swapping
was also crude as a result of this.  MINIUNIX is Bell source code,
so unless you have a source license for your 11/10 (only really cheap
if you are a university) you couldn't legally run it.

Anyway, Art Hays, now at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda,
MD was one of the leading proponents of it outside of Bell.  If anyone
still has a copy he does.
