I wonder if MINIX on the ST will take on the same role as OS-9 on the
Radio Shack Coco.  It appeared there as an exotic, third-party product. 
Then Radio Shack adopted it as one of their own products.  Now, many
Radio Shack games are released on OS-9 disks. 

In the case of MINIX, it has the added advantage of the source code
distribution.
