Has anyone tried porting minix to any transputer boards/machines. Does any one have any ideas about what needs to be done to the Minix kernel to make it run on a parallel machine like a network of transputers. Any info is welcome. - Ashutosh Tiwary Hewlett Packard, Network Measurement Division Santa Rosa, California 95401.

I have heard rumors that a U.S. based company is building a transputer based workstation using a port of minix. The product has not been officially announced at this time but is expected in the next few months. If you wish to do your own port of minix, INMOS has a board with a m212 disk controller transputer and space for a boot ROM. You would need another transputer and memory to run any operating system as the controller board only has space for two 32Kx8 memory chips. John A.
