Some of us at ULowell started work on an Amiga port of MINIX,
then realized just what Chuck said.  So we stopped the port.

The only way MINIX would be worthwhile on the Amiga would be as
one of Amiga's libraries/devices/subtasks, like the MS-DOS/Janus
software.

PS Kim, do you still have a group at Amdahl working on MINIX?
