Albert - what's the story with Minix's kernel stuff? In particular
the device drivers (floppy, scsi) and the terminal driver?  I was
wondering whether now that Mach has been publicly released, if we
might put up the Mach kernel using a lot of the work done for Minix,
and then when GNU Unix becomes available we could have a full unix
for A440's for free.   [Roll on RISC OS GCC...]
