I am in a similar situation. The intention is to implement a minimal Operating System on a closely coupled multi-processor NS32000 based machine. Does any one have experience in porting MINIX to this type of architecture. Please either mail directly to me or post follow ups. tks Andrew Cagney ACSnet: cagney@smokey.ua.oz (prefered) University of Adelaide or cagney@chook.ua.oz Adelaide, South Australia

Welll... whenever I'd have trouble debugging the Umax4.2 kernel, I'd threaten to port MINIX to the Encore Multimax. Fortunately, said threats tended to get the kernel to behave itself and I've never had to carry it out 8-) -- Jim Paradis (paradis@encore.UUCP) 508-460-0500 Devout Secular Humanist and Worshipper of Bacchus in Vintage Years

Was just wondering if there was a version of MINIX that would run on
a 3b2/300? Would like to try another operating system (or two) on here
and see what gives the best results.
Thanks,
