We have ported Xinu to the Macintosh family (68000 and 68020). It has a lot of Macintosh-ROM-specific details, but it would give you a good start. If you are interested, here is how to get it. Macintosh Xinu version 6 (for volume I of the book--includes no networking) is available commercially via mailorder from Prentice Hall. The software includes Aztec C source code and makefiles for the Xinu system calls, C library routines, and utilities, including a configuration program. Send your order, along with $80 to Book Distribution Center PRENTICE HALL Route 59 at Brook Hill Drive West Nyack, New York 10995 or call the mail order department at (201) 767-5937. You can also order version 6 or version 7 from us at Purdue. The Aztec C compiler is available from Manx Software Systems. Xinu version 6 (without networking) costs $100, and version 7 (internetworking) costs $200, payable to Steven Munson, if you order it from us. If you want to order it from us, send electronic mail to xinu-librarian@purdue.edu, or physical mail to Xinu Librarian Dept. of Computer Sciences Purdue University West Lafayette IN 47907 If you want version 7, you should specify the medium you want the file server recorded on. It is on the floppy disk as part of Macintosh Xinu, but there is also a version that runs on UNIX available on 9-track tape and a SunOS version on tape cartridge. Steve Munson ----------

There is a port of Xinu to the Sun 3 architecture (68020) that I used as a basis for my port to Motorola's MVME143 CPU board which is a 68030 board. The Sun version is also currently being upgraded to version 8 and includes virtual memory, multi-threaded processes, X, TCP, etc. Unfortunately, my own port is probably not redistributable and does not implement the networking code of version 7. However, it only took me 1 1/2 months at half time to execute my port (as well as add some more device drivers) so it would be a good beginning point. One advantage that the Sun version has over the Mac version is that it is much more machine independent so there would be less problems with having to emulate ROM routines, etc. To order Sun Xinu 7 (or 6), please see the order information below: Xinu Types and Price List Target Xinu Host Compiler Media Price Make Check Machine Version Operating Payable to System ------------------------------------------------------------------- LSI (@) 6 (Book I)Cross Compiler 1600 BPI $100 Douglas Comer Included 9-Track UNIX 4.3BSD UNIX Tar Tape LSI (@) 7(Book II)Cross Compiler 1600 BPI $200 Douglas Comer Included 9-Track UNIX 4.3BSD UNIX Tar Tape _____________________________________________________________________ 8086 (%)6 (Book I) Cross Compiler 1600 BPI $100 Douglas Comer Derived Included 9-Track UNIX from 4.3BSD UNIX Tar Tape LSI-11 ______________________________________________________________________ Sun3 (%)6 (Book I) Sun Micro- 1600 BPI $100 Shawn Ostermann Systems C 9-Track UNIX Sun OS Tar Tape Sun3 (%)7 (Book II)Sun Micro- 1600 BPI $200 Shawn Ostermann Systems C 9-Track UNIX Sun OS Tar Tape ______________________________________________________________________ Sun4 (%)8.0 VM Xinu Sun Micro- 1600 BPI $200 Jim Griffioen Systems C 9-Track UNIX Sun OS Tar Tape, or 1/4 inch cartridge ________________________________________________________________________ IBM-PC 6 PC-Xinu Microsoft C 5 1/4 floppy ~ $80 Contact Prentice (Book I) MS/DOS Hall ISBN #0-13-638271-1 IBM-PC (%)6 (Book I) Aztec C 5 1/4 floppy $100 Andy Thomas IBM-PC 7 (Book II) Microsoft C 5 1/4 floppy(5)$150 Contact T.
