Has anyone written a version of amoeba for MINIX that uses the serial ports instead of an EtherCard as the device. I realize that it would not be as fast but is would be much cheaper for some quick local area networks. -- \ / C r o s s r o a d s C o m m u n i c a t i o n s /\ (602) 941-2005 300|1200|2400 Baud 24 hrs/day / \ hplabs!hp-sdd!crash!xroads!chandler

I read in UNIX TODAY that Mr. Tannenbaum has developed an OS for distributed systems called Amoeba. I'm interested in these kinds of systems, and I was wondering if anyone out there had any idea where I can find out about Amoeba?? Thanks... Jay Prince

Andy will be back today, but don't expect a prompt answer, since he will probably have a mailbox of 900+ messages... 2. Find an ftp-site with the "Amoeba-book". This "book" is a PostScript- compilation of interesting (?) papers on the Amoeba Project. 3. Last resort: e-mail to me. I know the people who are working on it, but I don't think it would be wise to put their e-mail addresses "out" on the Net...

For example, IEEE Computer Magazine, May 1990. You can also FTP many of these papers from midgard.ucsc.edu in dir ftp/pub/amoeba, both in source and in compressed postscript.
