Yes.  I'm a member of the minix beta-test group.  I have a copy of
minix 1.6.11 on my pc532.  It is not yet working.  (I'm waiting
for a 1.5 kernel before trying to move to 1.6)  AST is getting ready to
send out 1.6.15 to the minix-beta list.  I hope to have a 1.5 kernel
before much longer.. (How is the work Bruce?)  And by some time this
summer I expect AST to release a 1.6 to comp.os.minix.  I would think
that would be the time to move minix532 to 1.6.  I understand that
tcp/ip is in the works for 1.6.?, but I don't know if 1.6.15 has it
included.

I've been hearing tales of Minix 1.6.x being beta tested now
and since we're not fully 1.5 yet, perhaps some leapfrogging could
be done. Is anyone tracking Minix?
