To answer quickly, no.  Andy Tanenbaum's group will be releasing a
version of Minix for the Atari ST in late spring.  Several parties,
including mine, have said they will be working on porting the ST
version to the Amiga, since the compiler for the ST will generate code
for the Amiga as well (M68K).  It shouldn't be too long after the ST
version is released (3 months?  I hope :-).
