I am new to this conference, so this may be a quetion already dealt with before
...   but -
..   but -

Is there any work being done to port MINIX to the Commodore Amiga?

The Amiga seems an interesting support venue due to its good hardware
support for graphics & i/o... I note that Sun has done a port of their
NetworkWindowSystem to it, I don't know about the File System...
Also the Amiga has a complete (?) message pssing multi-tasking o/s base in ROM,

which may be useful or may be in the way...

I am running MINIX on the Amiga Sidecar, and find some screen glitches, I
haven't tracked them down yet - interesting to have MINIX on both boxes...
