This just came in on comp.os.minix. Thought it might be of some interest
to our news group.

:
:MINIX for the ATARI ST is now finished and has been sent to Prentice-Hall
:for reproduction and publication.  I will post a thorough description of
:the system, etc. as soon as P-H can give me more definite information about
:date of availability, pricing etc.  It will probably be available sometime
:during the summer, and for a price under $100 (including all the sources).
:I will post more when I know more.  Please don't send mail asking, because
:I don't know.  I won't forget to post an announcement when I know. Honest.
:If anyone is seriously interested in porting MINIX to the Amiga or Macintosh
:I or II, let me know.  It will be several months of hard work for an expert who
:knows the target machine up and down, backward and forward, inside and out. The
:main issue is writing I/O drivers for the clock, tty, disk, etc., or hooking
:up to the ROM routines, where appropriate.  Beginners need not apply.
