Over in comp.sys.apple, a lot of people have been upset over Apple's apparent
lack of Apple II support, and have from time to time mentioned the desire
to have a UNIX-based Apple II - and MINIX is usually mentioned.

Is there any way to put Minix onto a 128K Apple IIc or IIe?  If not, then
how about the IIgs?

A friend of mine says that MINIX needs 20-bit address capability - of course,
the IIc/IIe (6502 -C02 -802) has only 16-bit addresses max.  Of course, the
IIgs has 24-bit addressing (65816).

Thoughts anyone?  And maybe someone could pick up the baton?  It would
take too much time for me to do...
