No, the IBM diffs will not work on ST MINIX.  However, this is not caused
by an incompatability so much as the fact that ST MINIX is fairly close
to IBM MINIX 1.3, making the patches pointless.  If you're offering to make
ST MINIX exactly like IBM MINIX 1.3, though, I'm sure that no one will
object...
