From postings spanning several months now, I have been hearing about
AmigaMinix which was in beta test about six months ago.  I had expected
to see it by now, so I called Prentice-Hall Aus and spoke to customer
service an was basically told that I could buy PC Minix 1.3 for about
Aus$160.  What about the Amiga version?  There was a pained
silence.  No, she did not know of an Amiga version.  I then inquired
about the ST version, and she asked me what an ST was.  Uh huh.
Finally I asked about versions above 1.3, and was told that no such
beasts existed.

So how is this going and when can we expect to buy AmigaMINIX?  I vaguely
remember someone posting an article saying that P-H would be carrying
AmigaMINIX, but they certainly did not tell the Australian office.
