    I'm not aware of any ports of Minix to the Rainbow world, but
there was one made to the IBM PC family. It came out sometime in
early 1987, cost around $75, and was distributed with source code
by Prentice Hall. The author is Andy Tanenbaum, minix@cs.vu.nl.
You might contact him for information about Minix for other
machines. If nothing exists for the Rainbow, you'd probably have to
add your own code for i/o. It might be useful to contact Richard
Thomson, rgt@lanl.gov, who has made changes to the Rainbow BIOS
in order to add IBM PC data compability to RX50 drives. As for
console i/o, I've seen a number of routines floating around
in assembler, C and Pascal for directly accessing the Rainbow
firmware routines.

P.S. Glad to see your interest in the Rainbow has perked up again,
Gerry. Given you've already written the i/o routines when porting
QNX, how difficult would it be to use these with Minix?
