Just to let yall know: There is a version of MINIX that runs on the Peripheral Technology PT68K-2. The port was originally done by a fellow in Canada from the ATARI ST version and the diffs supplied to 68Micro Journal. Sydney Thompson of the SK*DOS Users' Group got the diskettes and sent a copy to me. (I am a legal owner of both the IBMPC and ATARI ST versions). The original port to the PT68K did not include Hard drive support or Serial port support. Jack Crenshaw is working on the Serial Ports and I just finished a rough version of the Hard disk driver. It works, but still needs Formatting capability. Currently the hard disk needs to be formatted with SK*DOS and a sector editor is required to manually enter the partition data in sector 0.
