He also heartily dislikes the Amiga. Some of his reasons are valid, but
many of them seem to be based on the Amiga having unconventional hardware.

He's got a couple of students working on an Amiga port. From what I've heard
it's not going to run under Exec, and it's not a very high priority.

Under these circumstances I wouldn't hold my breath for MINIX to do the duty
of Amigix.
