It had full kernal source, and all the tools to rebuild. I think you're
mistaken saying it was useless. Any development environment
that supplied device access and process management was a good base to
develop. Anything with a prompt.

The only problem was/is that that you don't have the source for the
C compiler with the orginal Minix. Other than that it was a NICE little
OS.
Most of my projects consist of bare hardware, data
sheets and a cross
development environment..
How ever hidesight tells us that 32K words is just minium for a GOOD os.
I still would of liked to see a 18 bit PDP-11. :)
