	Maybe that's because it *works*!   :-)

Yes.  We have 3 machines here with WD8003s. Amongst other things, I
made a new filesystem on the hard disk of one, put the networking
stuff onto its boot floppy, booted it, and said:

	rsh -e othermachine \( cd /usr \; pd-tar cf - . \) | pd-tar xvf -

and copied the *entire* minix source, .s files, and binaries across. Wow!
It sure beats floppies.

Now, how do I get Amoeba running on either a vanilla 4.3bsd Vax or on
Sun-3s (binary only)?
