I would LOVE to have Minix running on my GS. I am so tired of ProDos and its single task limitations. Even the supposed minimal invocatabilitiy of Prodos 16 doesnt hold a match to fork and exec. I havent purchased APW C yet, simply because to get the full environment you have to buy that blasted assembler as well, but I guess I will have to break down and get it. But I dont know anything at all about o/s development. If someone can get a minix kernel running on the GS, I would be interested in helping get the various utilties, etc. running. -- Larry W.
