[comp.os.minix] Where To Buy Minix

Thanks for all the response on this question.  Let me post a few responses.
First of all, most of you suggested buying it directly from PH.  Based on
other comments (e.g., lousy service) I would not recommend these guys.

A few folks have found MINIX at local technical book stores for under $150.
Since most people don't have access to these local stores, I won't mention
them other than to say try your local bookstore first.  No one suggested
OPAMP, or gave a price for OPAMP; so I can't comment on them.  I would assume
they carry it though.

The best price I've seen or heard of from a national mail-order outfit is
the Austin Code Works.  They have PC-MINIX 1.5 in stock for $150.  I've dealt
with them in the past and they ship very quickly (much better than stories I've
heard about PH).  I don't have my Dr. Dobbs handy so I don't have the phone #.
If you want it, mail me and I'll send it to you.  ACW has provided excellent
service in the past so I have no reason to doubt them now.  BTW, that's 5-1/4"
disks in stock.  They may have to order 3-1/2" diskette versions.
