I have a copy of the April 1989 issue in front of me. Here is their address:
   The C Users Group
   2120 W. 25th Street, Suite B
   Lawrence, KS 66046

Here is an excerpt from the order form, reproduced as best as I can:

    :   :         :
    :   :         :
   282 ____ Quip and Graphics
   283 ____ FAFNIR
   284 ____ Portable 8080 Emulator
   Z04 ____ Minix Fixes (15.00)

This is the only reference to Minix that I see on the order form.
