Does Mac MINIX allow access to the Macintosh OS? Can I run a normmal Mac application under MINIX? How does MINIX compare to A/UX? Thanks for your help, Mike. -- Michael A.

Mac Minix is a Mac APPLICATION, not a real OS... It access Mac Toolbox for disk, windows etc etc... AU/X is a REAL OS, it run onto the machine harware ans not onto Mac OS.... Questions: o Is Mac Minix 32 bits clean ? (touch 8 hight bits of any adress) o What the way it use for handling Mac Events ?? o What machine timer does it use for sheduling ? VIA ? VBL ?
