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

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.

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:
