We have the PCs on campus at Dakota State College networked using IBM
Token Ring adapters. The possibility of using Amoeba under Minix
seems like it would be a great way to explore multiprocessing, and
it seems like it would serve well as a way to get to our Vax, via
something like a 386 Minix gateway.  I haven't looked too carefully
at the Amoeba source, so I am asking if anyone knows whether Token
Ring adapter support would be difficult to implement and if anyone
has tried it yet.
