[comp.os.minix] 32-bit Minix

andrew@eleceng.bradford.ac.uk (Andrew G. Minter) (07/31/90)

I've totally abandoned DOS and I'm using Minix for everything on my 386SX
based machine.

The trouble is that everything I write seems to run out of memory.  Every
time somebody mentions the magic words "32 bits" I feel a deep longing and
terrible envy :-)

I'm well aware that there are several people out there who have put a lot of
work into a 32-bit Minix and C compiler.  Could one of them possibly let me
(and all the other Minix fanatics out there) know what is happenning on this
front?

If it is already possible to get a complete 32-bit Minix up and running I
would be willing to shed blood or even money for somebody who could let me
know how to get it!  I already have an early 32-bit compiler, but it will
not run in 32-bit mode, so it's rather limiting.

Cheers, Andrew
