Williams): +--------------- | Has anyone ported MINIX to the Macintosh? If so, where can it be ftp'd from? +--------------- Someone claims to be working on it. Unfortunately, he also claims that he's going to insist on a PMMU, e.g. you have to have a II, IIx, or SE/30. As I consider this to be roughly the equivalent of PC Minix suddenly becoming i386-only (which ast claims is not going to happen), I don't consider it to be a legitimate port; and if nobody else does anything, I'll probably purchase LSC and the ST Minix sources and do a Plus/SE port myself. ...and if anyone asks me where the Toolbox support is, I'll kill 'em! ;-) (Or send 'em to talk to Chuq.) ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
