I know there's MINIX for the 68000 and SPARC (as of 2.0) and of ARM (as of 3.0), but I've never heard of MINIX for the PDP-11. Given that MINIX 1.0 will run on a 5150-type IBM PC, the utilities and such should fit into a 64KB address space, but without some digging wouldn't know if they also depend on split I&D or not (since that's "free" on Intel CPUs). It might be do-able, but wouldn't be done quickly. I remember more than a little IBM assembler in the MINIX sources, and I don't recall how tightly the old stuff is tied to the processor and/or ISA Bus implementation. -ethan _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
