I neglected to first ask whether it runs on the Macintosh Plus platform...
Anybody know whether Coherent does/will or not?

From what I know, Coherent only works on a 286/386 right now (I haven't seen
any aertisement for a Mac version)n). I think Minix will probably be your
only option since the other Unix for the Macintosh (i.e. A/UX) only works
on a 68030 machine.
