I don't beleive that MINIX is public domain and therefore yout won't find
it on any legal ftp site. When I got a copy about 5 years ago it cost about
$200 to $300 dollars at McGills in Melbourne. It was published by Prentice
Hall.

I'm willing to get rid of my copy for the transport costs it'd take to get
it to you.
