  If you're interested in Minix on the Rainbow, you might contact
Gerry Wheeler (uunet!watmath!mks!wheels) for more information. Last
fall, I recall, he expressed some interest in doing a port, and
some posts to the Rainbow Echomail seemed to suggest such a port
might already exist. Unfortunately, Gerry wasn't able to find such
a thing. He did, though, collect names of those interested in doing
a port. Gerry, you still listening? What's up with Minix?

  BTW: Gerry has already ported QNX from the PC to the Rainbow so
he does have some experience with getting the Rainbow to speak
something other than DOS or CP/M.

Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy
you must have somebody to divide it with.
