"By the way, I'm quite curious how the fork() call is implemented [in
Minix]
(the Atari lacks address translation)"

The Minix fork call will be come clear when you understand that the
Minix kernel process switch mechanism is to move the old process
physcially out of the way (to somewhere else in memory) and move the new
process into place.  All processes therefore run out of exactly the same
address area.
