I have a few questions: 1) How does one get Amiga Minix? 2) What is it's cost? 3) How (and where) does one get PC Minix? 4) How much does PC Minix cost? 5) Does PC Minix limit processes to 64K, and does Amiga Minix do same? Thanks in advance Mathew Pierce

I ordered Amiga Minix 1.5 from Prentice-Hall directly and ordered it from their MicroSystems division/department >2) What is it's cost? The bill was $169 plus shipping and handling. >3) How (and where) does one get PC Minix? >4) How much does PC Minix cost? I assume that you contact the same folks and that the price would be the same. >5) Does PC Minix limit processes to 64K, and does Amiga Minix do same? > Not sure on this one, but I think that the PC processes are limited to 64K, while that limit has been removed from the Amiga. One thing to note is that the C compiler only works on the 'small' memory model (64K instruction + 64K data space). >Thanks in advance > >Mathew Pierce Hope I've answered some of your questions... jerry -- Jerry Heyman by day: IBM AWD, AIX Development zebr360@emx.utexas.edu by nite: Adjunct Lecturer at St. Edward's Univ. *All comments are my own and should not be construed to represent any one else
