I am also interested in porting a UNIX like OS to the Apple IIgs. The IIgs is a 16bit machine and has a 23 bit address bus (the CPU has a 24 bit address bus). So it can directly address 8Meg. It also has two C compilers already out for it. So, It isn't *that* bad. Anyway, Can someone tell me how and where to obtain the C source code for Minix, and if it is for a price how much. I would really appreciate it. Thanks! Sincerely, Bob P.S. The Apple II's have four C compilers out for it, so there are masochits out there. :-) Also, I dislike people who say it can't be done: ``Where there is a will there is a way''.
