  Don't know about PD unix, but Minix for the Macintosh, A.K.A.
MacMinix runs as a task under MacOS and has a pretty thorough Unix
Version 7 compatible programming environment including C compiler, Emacs clone
editor, and  about 200 or so libraries and utilities. It runs under MultiFinder
too.

 It will be available from Prentice-Hall book  publishers this Spring. 
Cost will be under $100. And that includes complete source code for 
everything but the C compiler and compiler tools. Some fun, huh?

    It is not vaporware.
