Has anyone out there ported minix to a Stride 400 or 600 series machine? I have a Stride 420 (12MHz 68000, 512K RAM, 2 floppies) that I would like to bring back from the dead (CP/M-68K, p-System) and into the modern world without breaking the bank. (Gcc would be nice, too...) All pointers, suggestions, help, flames gladly accepted. -- * Chris Harting AT&T Network Systems Columbus, OH clh@cbrmb.att.com

(Gcc would be nice, too...) I think this is a wonderful idea. Probably one of the smartest things I have heard in a long time. Whatever happened to all those Stride and Sage boxes that were great hardware without a usable operating system? I should think that if there was a way to actually locate the Strides that are stashed in closets and storage warehouses, there would be a potential used market to csc students that want their own Unix (well, Minix) systems. -- John Dudeck "You want to read the code closely..." jdudeck@Polyslo.CalPoly.Edu -- C.

Great idea. Here at NCSU (North Carolina State Univ) we have about 50 Sages that we're getting ready to trash.
