MINIX INFORMATION SHEET
1. WHAT IS MINIX?
MINIX is an operating system that is a subset of UNIX Version 7. It con-
tains nearly all the V7 system calls, and these calls are identical to the
corresponding V7 calls. It also includes a Bourne-compatible shell, and
close to 100 utility programs, including cc, grep, ls, make, etc. To the
average user, it is effectively V7 UNIX. If you dig deep enough, you will,
however, find some differences.
The MINIX kernel has been written from scratch by Andy Tanenbaum
(ast@cs.vu.nl). It does not contain ANY AT&T code at all. The utility
programs have been written by Andy Tanenbaum, his students, and a number of
other people, including people on USENET. None of the utilities contain
any AT&T code either. The shell, the Pascal and C compilers, make, etc.
have all been completely redone. As a result, this code is not covered by
the ATT UNIX license, and it can be made available.
2. HOW CAN I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT MINIX?
MINIX is described in detail in the following book:
Title: Operating Systems: Design and Implementation
Author: Andrew S. Tanenbaum
Publisher: Prentice-Hall
ISBN: 0-13-637406-9 (Hardcover)
0-13-637331-3 (Paperback, outside of U.S. and Canada)
There are also French and Spanish translations of the book avalable, and a
German version is due out soon. The paperback MINIX Reference Manual is a
subset of the book; It contains only the MINIX speific information, not the
general background stuff on operating systems that bhe book contains. The
software package does not contain a manual; this is contained in the appen-
dices to the book, which also contain a complete source code listing (in C)
of the MINIX kernel.
3. HOW CAN I GET MINIX?
MINIX is being sold by:
Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632 (1-800-223-1360), and
Prentice-Hall Int'l, Hemel, Hempstead, England (+44 442 231555)
When ordering it, please specify one of the following versions:
MINIX for 640K IBM PC $79.95
MINIX for 512K IBM PC/AT $79.95 (0-13-583303-5)
MINIX sources on mag tape $79.95
MINIX code + reference manual (PC) $116 (0-13-584426-6)
MINIX code + reference manual (AT) $116
MINIX-PC upgrade (1.2 to 1.3) $29.95 (0-13-584723-0)
(Sources *ONLY* -- you will need to already have
a working PC-Minix system to use this)
MINIX for the Atari ST $79.95 (0-13-584392-8)
Textbook: Operating Systems: Design and Implementation (0-13-637406-9)
Reference Manual: MINIX for the IBM PC, XT, and AT (0-13-584400-2)
The PC version runs on many IBM-compatable machines, but check the list at
the end of this sheet for your machine and hard disk to make sure.
The Atari version will run on any Atari ST, from a 512K machine with 1
floppy to a Mega ST with 4M and 16 hard disks. It works better on the
latter.
All full distributions contain executable binaries and the complete source
code.
4. WHAT CPUS DOES MINIX RUN ON?
MINIX was originally written for the IBM PC, XT, and AT. It has since been
ported to the NS 16032 and the 68000 (Atari ST). It will also work on many
386-based machines. A list of clones on which MINIX has been tested is in-
cluded below. These tests apply to Version 1.1 and 1.2. It is thought
that 1.3 runs on everything that ran 1.2, and more.
5. IS MINIX PUBLIC DOMAIN?
No. MINIX has been copyrighted by Prentice-Hall. Prentice-Hall has decid-
ed to permit a limited amount of copying of the sources and binaries for
educational use. Professors may make copies for students in their operat-
ing systems classes. Academic researchers may use it for their new experi-
mental machines, and things like that. A small amount of private copying
of diskettes for the use of personal friends is ok, but please do not make
more than 3 copies from each original. Prentice-Hall is trying to be more
reasonable than most software publishers. Please do not abuse this. On-
line repositories of the full source code distribution are not permitted.
All commercial uses of MINIX require written permission from Prentice-Hall;
for the most part, they are willing to grant such permission in return for
a royalty on sales.
6. WHAT PROGRAMS COME WITH MINIX
The list below gives the programs that are distributed with Version 1.3:

Various other programs have been posted to the net, and should be available
from the archives.
7. HOW DO I KEEP UP TO DATE ABOUT MINIX.
If you are on USENET, subscribe to newsgroup comp.os.minix. There are
about 10,000 people in this group, and new software, bug fixes, and general
discussion about MINIX take place here. If you are on BITNET or ARPANET,
you can get this newsgroup via a mailing list by contacting:
ARPANET: info-minix-request@twg.com
BITNET: send a message (either interactive or mail) to
listserv@ndsuvm1 saying:
signup minix-l Your_Full_Name
8. HOW MANY VERSIONS OF MINIX ARE THERE AND HOW DO THEY DIFFER?
At present there are three versions for the IBM PC line: 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3.
The IBM V1.3 contains many bug fixes and other improvements over 1.1 and
1.2. In particular, although V1.1 works fine with genuine IBM PCs, it
gives trouble on some clones, especially hard disk problems. In this
respect V1.2 is much better. V1.1 is thus obsolete and is no longer avail-
able from Prentice-Hall. V1.3 has many enhancements over 1.2, including
networking and RS232 support.
There is one version for the Atari ST line, V1.1 which is equivalent to
PC-Minix V1.3.
9. ARE THE MESSAGES POSTED TO COMP.OS.MINIX SAVED ANYWHERE?
Yes. There are many sites which archive everything from complete copies of
all articles posted, to summaries of the more interesting articles, to use-
ful sources and updates.
The first place to look for archives is on your own (or a nearby) system.
There are many sites which maintain local archives and are not listed here.
If that fails, try an archive site in your area and/or on a network which
you are also on. If you want very large ammounts of material from the ar-
chives, talk to one of the maintainers about mailing a tape. Surface mail
is cheap.
Please restrict your use of FTP sites to non-business hours.
Abuse of the archives, especially thru mail, will cause bad carma.
9.1 Internet: Bugs.Nosc.Mil
Bugs.Nosc.Mil archives comp.os.minix news articles of lasting interest and
other Minix material, such as a list of machines reported to be able to run
Minix. Material of widespread interest includes diffs for updating v1.1 to
v1.2 and v1.2 to v1.3, diffs for cross compilation under MS-C and Turbo-C,
the new C compiler, the editor Elle v4.1, and recently a port of C-Kermit.
This material is available by anonymous FTP (during non-business hours) on
bugs.nosc.mil [128.49.16.1] in directory pub/Minix. There are two index
files for the archives, "subjects" and "subjects.ast", the latter being ar-
ticles posted by Minix author, Andrew Tanenbaum. The file names are mostly
just the Message-Id of a news article.
This archive is mantained by Vincent Broman, code 632, Naval Ocean Systems
Center, San Diego, CA 92152, USA Phone: +1 619 553 1641
Internet: broman@nosc.mil Uucp: sdcsvax!nosc!broman
9.2 Internet: Simtel20.Arpa
A limited archive of MINIX related material is available from wsmr-
simtel20.army.mil [26.2.0.74] in the directory PD:. These same
files are available to Bitnet from the simtel20 relays on LISTSERV@RPICICGE
or LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 in the same directory.
To get these files from LISTSERV@RPICICGE, use the /pddir and /pdget com-
mands for a directory listing and file retrieval, respectively.
9.3 Bitnet: NDSUVM1.BITNET / Internet: vm1.NoDak.Edu
At NDSU we have two archives of information about Minix on our LISTSERV.
The first is an automated log of all messages sent to the MINIX-L list, and
the other is an manually organized archive of sources sent to the list.
Both are accessed by sending either interactive messages (bitnet only) or
mail (all other networks) to LISTSERV@NDSUVM1. Some possible addresses from
other networks are:
Bitnet: listserv@ndsuvm1
Internet: listserv@vm1.NoDak.EDU [192.33.18.30], [134.129.111.1]
UUCP: psuvax1!ndsuvm1.bitnet!listserv
**NOTE** Many Unix sites have had difficulty contacting this
server because it is VERY stringent about what it accepts as
valid mail. Also, replies to uucp will *not* follow the same
path back as the request was sent on. This machine does "smart
routing".
The mailing list logs are kept in the "MINIX-L" section, with all filenames
of the form:
MINIX-L LOGyymmw
where "yy" is the year, "mm" is the numeric month and "w" is an alphabetic
character from A to E indicating what week of the month. Several months of
log files are kept on-line, the number depending on disk space availabili-
ty.
Database functions are also available on the listserv to aid in searching
this archive. To obtain a "Subject" index of the MINIX-L archives, send
the listserv a file or mail with the following "job" in the message body:
// JOB Echo=No
Database Search DD=Rules
//Rules DD *
search * in minix-l since 88/06/01
index
and you will be sent a file containing all of the 'Subject:' lines sent to
MINIX-L@NDSUVM1 (the Bitnet side of the Minix discussion lists) since July
1, 1988. If you wish to request one or more items, replace the 'index'
line in the above job with 'print [refnum]' where 'refnum' is the reference
number contained in the index listing. Documentation on all database func-
tions is available by sending the following command (contents of the body
of a message) to the listserv:
INFO DATABASE
The other (manually maintained) archives are kept in the "MINIX" section.
To obtain a list of the files in either of these archive sections, send the
command:
INDEX MINIX
or
INDEX MINIX-L
Files are retrieved with the 'GET' command:
GET MORE INFO MINIX
to get the file "MORE INFO" from the group "MINIX".
For a complete list of information on the listserv:
INFO ?
Due to the 80-character per line (punched card) limit on Bitnet mail, many
of the files will be shipped using an encoding scheme that allows logical
lines to be split up into many physical lines. The default for going to
other networks is "Listserv Punch". Information on obtaining a program to
decode listserv punch format is sent with each encoded file.

9.4 BBS: The Mars Hotel
For people without a network connection, there is a PC-based Electronic
Bulletin Board System (BBS) that has carried the traffic of Usenet's
Comp.os.minix steadily since August, 1987 as well as a formal Minix ar-
chive.
The BBS is not a true gateway to Usenet, like some Fidonet nodes are; rath-
er it is a "delivery service" whereby new comp.os.minix articles are gath-
ered daily and posted as messages on the BBS. Long articles are automati-
cally ARC'ed and posted to the file area for downloading. Raw traffic is
kept for about 2 months.
Once a month the articles of lasting intrest from the previous month are
saved into several ARC files, all less than 100k, to make downloading
easier. For any given month, the index of articles is in MNXyymmA.ARC, and
the actual articles start in MNXyymmB.ARC. You can just download the in-
dex, then download the ARC files that contain articles of interest to you.
A complete index is always in MNXINDEX.ARC.
Call:
The Mars Hotel BBS, (301)470-3569 (PC-Pursuitable)
300,1200,2400 baud, 8,n,1.
No registration required, no donations accepted.
Everyone gets 60 minutes/day.
No upload/download ratios (but don't be a jerk!)
Spread the word to those without net access.

9.5 England (Janet) uk.ac.ic.doc (icdoc.uucp)
An archive of the worthwhile postings from the comp.os.minix newsgroup is
available from uk.ac.ic.doc either via mail or by GUEST niftp. For details
about how to access this service send a mail message with NO Subject: field
to:
info-server@uk.ac.ic.doc
and a message body of:

9.6 Netherlands
An archive of all comp.os.minix articles is saved on idca.tds.philips.nl.
It can be accessed through the mail server,
minix-archive@idca.tds.philips.nl
by placing commands in the Subject or contents of your message of the form:
send index # overall index
send disclaimer # I am not responsible for the contents
send 1989.Jan # last month's index
send 7161@louie.udel.EDU # referenced article
send ast # index of Andy's Words
(Remove the comments!)
Please note that the primary intended audience of this archive is the Europe
area, not north america.
The mcvax!uunet link is kind of expensive and
overloaded...
and besides, the americans have their own archives.
I am also willing to include other usefull MINIX materials in this archive.

are available for anonymous FTP from dsrgsun.ces.cwru.edu [129.22.16.2],
directory ~ftp/pub/minix/gcc-1.34* (cd to pub/minix).
10. WHAT PC CLONES HAS MINIX BEEN TESTED ON?
###########################################################################
# #
# MINIX Compatibility List -- 8 August 1989 #
# #
###########################################################################
Introduction
============
This is a list of machines that MINIX has reportedly run on. Updated
versions of this list is posted when a sufficient number of entries are
added or changed or when requested.
Please send any reports of MINIX compatibility, comments, corrections,
etc. to:
Alan F. Perry, 23240 Orange Ave #6, El Toro, CA 92630
Phone: +1 714 770 9004 (home)
E-mail addresses:
allan@dhw68k.cts.com
uunet!spsd!bergy!esprit!allan
lcc.perry@seas.ucla.edu
Please DO NOT submit reports to Glen Overby (ncoverby@plains.NoDak.edu).
PC MINIX
========
Version 1.0 is the version in Tanenbaum's book, "Operating Systems: Design
and Implementation". Version 1.1 is the initially released version and
the differences between it and 1.0 are minor. Version 1.2 was released
next. Version 1.3 is the currently available from Prentice-Hall.
Version 1.4 exists, but is not yet available from Prentice-Hall.
Version 2.0 is in the planning stages and should be available late next
year.
ST MINIX
========
Version 1.1 is the currently available version and is currently
available from Prentice-Hall. I have heard about Version 1.2,
but I am not sure what state it is in.
Explanation of List
===================
Each list is sorted in alphabetic order. Each line is an entry that
represents a portion of a report received by the editor. Each entry is a
report of how well a specific version of Minix worked on a specific
machine or other piece of hardware. Each entry appears as a single line
in the following format:
------------------------- --- - -------- -------- -------------------------
1111111111111111111111111 222 3 44444444 55555555 6666666666666666666666666
where each field is defined as:
1 - Hardware type. The type of hardware on which MINIX was tested.
2 - MINIX Version. The version of MINIX tested on the hardware.
x.x indicates that the version is unknown.
3 - Report Status. This will be Y (Yes, MINIX worked on the version),
N (No, MINIX did not work on this version) or P (Yes, MINIX worked
on the version, but a patch was required).
4 - Report Submitter. This is a reference to the individual who
submitted the report. A list of submitters is included with the
report.
5 - Date of Report. When the report was received.
6 - Additional Comments. Additional, useful comments added by the
submitter.
There are two major sections at this time. The first is PC MINIX 1.x and
the other is ST MINIX 1.x. Other sections may be added as needed (e.g.,
an AMIGA MINIX or PC MINIX 2.x section).
At this time, within each section are two subsections. The first is Basic
Operation (whether MINIX runs on the machine at all) and Optional Hardware
(whether it works with specific added hardware, such as Disk Controllers
and Video Cards). Other subsections may be added as needed.
