Oh no! I hope everything will be OK, and that you're not being forced to downsize
*too* much as part of this.

No software available. If/When I find the software I will make it available to whoever
takes this system.
If this is still available, I would pay for someone to pick this up, pack it, and ship it
to California. (I'd also send John money for it too, IMO it's only fair if I'm
paying someone to retrieve, pack, and ship it.)
Minix Software
Minix 1.5 for Macintosh (including disks)
Minix for the Atari ST
Minix Binaries and Sources for IBM PC/AT (5?? floppies)
If this is still available, I would **desperately** like to acquire all of the above.
Again, I'm willing to pay someone (and send money to John!) to pick this up, pack it,
and send it to me in California.
I have MacMinix 1.5, but a couple of my disks are bad, and I'd really like to have the
other Minix bits too. Literally simultaneously with John's sending of this email, I
was running the Mac IIfx in my office at Apple, and rebuilding all of MacMinix 1.5.10.7 at
-O2... Seriously! (Part of a personal project to port Minix 1.5.10.7 to a 68010 VME board
set.)
My first Open Source contribution was to MacMinix. I created a patch that flushed the
instruction and data cache on the 68040 when necessary (probably too often, in fact) so it
would run nice and fast on the Centris 610 that I upgraded to from a Mac IIci in late
1993.
In any case, if I don't get these myself, I hope they went to good homes, and I'd
absolutely love it if whoever got them could make and share disk images of the MacMinix
disks since right now the only publicly-surviving artifact is the StuffIt archive of an
installed system.

Hi Jonathan,
I currently have no software for this (he might find it later).
I'm happy to pay for your trouble if you're willing to pass it along?
Thank you!

I think I've got software for
this, if it's not available elsewhere/included with the hardware.
Thanks,

Absolutely, I believe I already have ImageDisk images, but you're welcome to the
original 8" media as well. I'll take a look when I'm down at the building
today.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Available on HTTP/HTTPS as well. Two of these were off factory originals.
Thanks,
