[comp.os.minix] Minix buying info

tempel@periwinkle.cis.ohio-state.edu (philippe n tempel) (02/24/90)

I just joined this newsgroup a little while ago and Minix sounds nice.
Can anyone tell me the latest version for IBM AT compatibles and where
(and how) I can get a copy of Minix.  From what I've read so far, I
think the latest version is 1.5.0.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Philippe

Hi.

Firstly, all the usual apologies for probable duplication of previous
requests and the like. I would read comp.os.minix more often, but as I 
don't have a machine, or the time, it's not worth it :-)

One of my students would like to know if there exists a 386 port of minix,
and where he can get it from (preferably for free or the cost of some disks).
Could anyone who knows of such a beast (or Minix that will run on a 386)
please reply by email as I don't anticipate being able to read c.o.m in the
near future.

Advthanksance,

Chrisl
