I read a posting the other day about a Mac version of Minix, a UNIX clone
that is system call compatible with v7 of UNIX.  It was written by
Andrew Tannenbaum and is published in a book he wrote about operating
systems.  The IBM version has it's own disk format and drivers.  I sent
mail to Dr. Tannenbaum asking if I could get the Mac source to port to the 
IIgs.  He wrote back saying that the Mac version was written on top of
the operating system and required about 1 meg.  Most of Minix is in C.
The only assembly language parts are the interrupt routines to switch 
processes.

When I find out about getting the source, I'll post more info.
