Version 1.2 of MINIX in 256K & 640K PC, 512K AT, mag tape, and the IBM slipcase version with the abridged book are all in stock. If it is of any consolation to the people who have had to wait and wait and wait, one of the corporate vice presidents was so unhappy about the poor service to customers that he fired the person who was in charge of managing the MINIX inventory. He has been replaced by someone else who has clear instructions to make sure it doesn't go out of stock again. They are now shipping to everyone whose order got backlogged.
