Nope, not quite yet. About a month ago AST posted to comp.minix saying that
it IS complete and HAS been delivered to Prentice-Hall, but they have to
tool up for distribution. Should be Real Soon Now ;-)

>Also, are there any ethernet/TCP-IP drivers available?

AST also said something about network support in yet another recent posting
(a brief summary of v1.3 improvements), but I don't know if it applies to
ST-MINIX, but something along these lines is being done.

Bottom line: Patience, it'll be along pretty quickly... Meanwhile, read the
comp.minix group or subscribe to (whatever the digest is called). Your very
legit questions are being answered.
