While reading some material about Linus Torvalds and his exploits with a QL in Finland in 1984-85, I came across a 1992 posting by Dave Woodman (who ported various language and parsing utiltiies for the QL) to a reference to a QL Minix. Dave seems to have been in conversation with Linus Torvalds and wrote:

Well (and Linus you might not want to hear this given your recent efforts), there is Minix available for QDOS.

And Linus replied:

Oh yes, I'm definitely interested...does QL-minix use QDOS for multitaskign too?

Anyone know if there indeed was a Minix system for the QL and what happened to it?
