MINIX for the ATARI ST is now finished and has been sent to Prentice-Hall
for reproduction and publication.  I will post a thorough description of
the system, etc. as soon as P-H can give me more definite information about
date of availability, pricing etc.  It will probably be available sometime
during the summer, and for a price under $100 (including all the sources).
I will post more when I know more.  Please don't send mail asking, because
I don't know.  I won't forget to post an announcement when I know. Honest.

If anyone is seriously interested in porting MINIX to the Amiga or Macintosh
I or II, let me know.  It will be several months of hard work for an expert who
knows the target machine up and down, backward and forward, inside and out.  The
main issue is writing I/O drivers for the clock, tty, disk, etc., or hooking
up to the ROM routines, where appropriate.  Beginners need not apply.
