MINIX currently runs on:
  - IBM PC, XT, AT, 386, PS/2, and friends
  - Commodore Amiga
  - Apple Macintosh
  - Atari ST
  - SPARC (this is not available yet; the others are)

A MINIX information sheet and demo disk can be gotten by FTP from ftp.cs.vu.nl
in directory minix/demo.  The current MINIX is about halfway POSIX conformant.

I'm sure Doug can provide the corresponding info on XINU.
