MINIX INFORMATION SHEET
1. WHAT IS MINIX 1.5
MINIX 1.5 is a new version of an operating system that is very similar to
UNIX. MINIX has been written from scratch, and therefore does not contain any
AT&T code--not in the kernel, the compiler, the utilities, or the libraries.
For this reason it can be made available with the complete source code
(on diskette). It runs on the IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2, 386, and most clones.
Versions are also available for the Atari ST, Macintosh, Amiga and Sun
SparcStation.
This version (1.5) is a major improvement over all previous releases, with
many new features, fewer bugs (hopefully), much better performance, and
proper documentation. The old versions have been in widespread use all over
the world for 3 years. There are probably tens of thousands of users.
2. MINIX 1.5 FEATURES (IBM, Macintosh, Atari, Amiga and SparcStation versions)
- System call compatible with V7 of the UNIX operating system
- Full multiprogramming (multiple programs can run at once)
- Kernighan and Ritchie compatible C compiler
- Shell that is functionally identical to the Bourne shell
- Five editors (emacs subset, vi clone, ex, ed, and simple screen editor)
- Over 175 utilities (cat, cp, ed, grep, kermit, ls, make, sort, etc.)
- Over 200 library procedures (atoi, fork, malloc, read, stdio, etc.)
- Spelling checker with 40,000 word English dictionary
- Full source code (in C) supplied on diskettes (OS, utilities, libraries)
- Easy-to-read manual telling all about MINIX and how to install and use it
3. ADDITIONAL FEATURES
In addition to the above features, there are other features present in
some (but not all) versions of MINIX 1.5. Some of these are listed below.
3.1 ADDITIONAL MINIX 1.5 FEATURES (IBM VERSION):
- Runs in protected mode on 286 and 386
- Support for extended memory up to 16M on 286 and 386
- Up to 3 simultaneous users on one machine
- RS-232 serial line support with terminal emulation, kermit, zmodem, etc.
- Distributed computing on Ethernet (remote login, etc.)
3.2 ADDITIONAL MINIX 1.5 FEATURES (MACINTOSH VERSION):
- Up to 3 simultaneous users on one machine
- RS-232 serial line support with terminal emulation, kermit, zmodem, etc.
- Runs under Multifinder
- Includes support for multiple user windows
3.3 ADDITIONAL MINIX 1.5 FEATURES (ATARI ST VERSION)
- Up to 2 simultaneous users on one machine
- RS-232 serial line support with terminal emulation, kermit, zmodem, etc.
- Support for various real time clocks (Mega, BMS, ICD, Supra, Weide)
3.4 ADDITIONAL MINIX 1.5 FEATURES (SUN SPARCSTATION VERSION)
- Native operating system. Runs on bare SparcStation hardware.
- Up to 3 simultaneous users on one machine
- RS-232 serial line support with terminal emulation, kermit, zmodem, etc.
- Multi-windowed display driver
- ANSI compatible GNU C compiler
4. HARDWARE REQUIRED
- IBM: PC, XT, AT, PS/2, or 386 that is 100% hardware compatible with
the IBM line. A hard disk not technically required, but is
strongly recommended to take full advantage of the system. At
least 512K of RAM is required, as well as a CGA, EGA,
monochrome, or Hercules video card, or another card that
emulates one of these. Both 5.25" and 3.5" diskettes are
supported, as are printers using the parallel port and modems
and terminals using the serial port.
- Macintosh: Apple Macintosh Plus, SE, SE/30, II, IIcx, or IIx with at
least 1M of RAM. An additional 1M of RAM and a hard disk
is strongly recommended. MINIX has been tested primarily
with version 6.0 and latter of the Apple system software.
Problems may conceivably arise with earlier versions. Any
hard disk or display that is supported by the normal Macintosh
OS is also supported by MINIX.
- Atari: Atari ST or Mega ST with at least 1M of RAM. Although the
system will boot with only 512K, you will be very restricted
in what you can do. A 720K diskette drive is required to
install the software. The older 360K diskette drives are
supported, but are not capable of reading the (720K)
distribution disks. A hard disk is supported, but is optional.
Some of the Supra hard disks are not Atari compatible, which
can cause problems. A fix is available from the MINIX Centre.
- Amiga: Commodore Amiga 500 or 2000 with at least 1M of RAM. One 720K
diskette drive is sufficient. A hard disk is not required
(or even supported). To use a hard disk with the Amiga,
someone familiar with how this disk works will have to write
a driver for it. If this driver is then posted to the net,
it will be possible to use a hard disk with MINIX on the Amiga.
Minix will NOT run on 68020 and larger Amiga systems.
- Sparc: Sun SparcStation 1, 1+ or IPC. Does NOT run on a SparcStation
2 and has not yet been tested on a SLC, IPX or ELC. A floppy
disk drive is required, a SCSI hard disk is not required but
strongly recommended to take full advantage of the system.
4MB RAM is sufficient to run Minix, up to 64MB is supported.
The monochrome framebuffer (bw2) as well as a color framebuffer
(cg3 or cg6) are supported. SCSI hard disks can be used and
even booted from. Ethernet, mouse and audio are not supported.
Printers can only be connected via a serial port.

8. MINIX BOOK
The author of MINIX, Andrew S. Tanenbaum, has written a book describing
how operating systems in general and MINIX in particular work internally.
The book describes an earlier version (and includes a source listing), but
it is still useful for understanding how MINIX works inside, even if some
details are now different. The bibliographic information is:
Title: Operating Systems: Design and Implementation
Author: Andrew S. Tanenbaum
Publisher: Prentice-Hall
ISBN: 0-13-637406-9
Paperback versions are also available in English (outside North America
only), French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Japanese. The books can be
ordered from any bookstore.
9. MINIX DEMONSTRATION DISKS
MINIX demonstration disks for the PC line, the Atari, the Macintosh and
the SparcStation (but for technical reasons, not the Amiga) are available.
The IBM, Atari and SparcStation versions can be obtained by anonymous FTP over
the internet. All three can be obtained from Prentice-Hall (see below). The
demo disks contained a very, very stripped down version of MINIX, just to give
an idea of what it can do. The demo disk is accompanied by a 30-page manual.
To get either free demo disk and its manual, use ftp to connect to
ftp.cs.vu.nl (192.31.231.42) and look in pub/minix. There is a file READ_ME
that is there and tells you what is in the directory and how to use it.

If you have previously purchased MINIX from Prentice-Hall, you can get
a discount of $60, but only if you order by mail and include the label from
the original PH boot disk (or the entire disk) with your letter. Not valid for
email, phone or FAX orders since you must enclose the original boot disk label
(not a photocopy). Mail orders can be by credit card or check for $169. You
will be billed for tax and shipping.
11. LEGAL STATUS OF MINIX
Although MINIX is supplied with the complete source code, it is
copyrighted software. It is not public domain. It is also not like GNU.
However, the copyright owner, Prentice-Hall has granted permission to bona
fide universities to copy the software for use in courses and in university
research projects. It is also permitted for MINIX owners to change the
software to suit their needs and to distribute diff listings containing
their changes freely. The shrink-wrap license that comes with MINIX states
that you may legally make two backup copies of the software. Prentice-Hall
is being much less strict than other software vendors. Please do not abuse
this. Companies that wish to embed MINIX in commercial systems or sell
MINIX-based products should call (212) 753-7753 to discuss licensing terms.
12. NEWS ABOUT MINIX
Since its introduction in January 1987, there has been a large an
active USENET newsgroup about MINIX, comp.os.minix. It currently has
about 25,000 members. Over 12,000 messages have been posted to this
group so far. These messages have contained questions, bug reports,
bug fixes, new software, and diff listings to allow current users to
update to new releases for free. It is the intention to continue this
policy into the indefinite future. MINIX users on Bitnet can be put on
a mailing list by sending mail to: info-minix-request@udel.edu. Various
archives store newsgroup traffic for newcomers to the newsgroup.
13. FUTURE PLANS
The major current project is bringing MINIX into conformance with
the IEEE POSIX P1003.1 and P1003.2 standards. This will (hopefully)
occur with V2.0, perhaps in 1992 (keep thinking "Next Year"). V2.0
will also be provided with an ANSI C compiler. Various people are
currently working on 32-bit versions of MINIX for the 386, and
numerous other projects. To keep up, subscribe to the comp.os.minix
newsgroup.
14. ANSI C, PASCAL, AND MODULA 2 COMPILERS FOR MINIX
A package containing the following compilers is available commercially:
- ANSI C, conforming to ANS X3.159-1989
- Modula-2, conforming to
"Report on The Programming Language Modula-2", in "Programming in
Modula-2, 3rd ed." by Niklaus Wirth, Springer-verlag, 1983
- Pascal confrming to level 1 of BSI standard BS 6192: 1982 (ISO 7185),
with a few small exceptions
Also, a Modula-2 makefile generator and some utilities for handling
relocatable object files are included (aal, nm, size, strip, etc).
Complete libraries for ANSI C, Pascal, and Modula 2 are provided.
This package is available in 4 different versions:
- 5.25" DS/DD floppies for 8088/286/386 (4 360K floppies);
- 5.25" DS/HD floppies for 8088/286/386 (1 1.2M floppy);
- 3.5" DS/DD floppies for 8088/286/386 (2 720K floppies);
- 3.5" DS/DD floppies for Commodore Amiga or Atari ST (2 720K floppies).
Many problems with the old Minix C compiler have been resolved:
- All versions have separate as and ld programs. Asld is gone.
- Floating point is now supported
- Library is greatly improved and is ANSI conformant
- A program aal is provided to manage libraries (ranlib-like)
The package is available from two companies:
Transmediair Products & Support B.V. Unipress Software
Melkweg 3 2025 Lincoln Highway
3721 RG Bilthoven Edison, NJ 08817
The Netherlands U.S.A.
Tel: +31 30 281820 Tel: +1 908 287 2100
FAX: +31 30 292294 FAX: +1 908 287 4929
Email: msk@unipress.com
Transmediair charges US $200,- for the 4 floppy PC version, US $150,-
for the other versions. Unipress charges US $199,- for all versions.
15. SunOS Minix
SunOS Minix is a version of Minix that runs as a user process on Sun
3s and 4s running SunOS 4.X. In SunOS Minix, the processor time used
is the time allocated to the SunOS process running SunOS Minix, each
file system is a SunOS file, and the console is /dev/tty of the SunOS
process. Also, it is possible for multiple users to log into a single
instance of SunOS Minix.
SunOS Minix runs as a user process, so does not require a dedicated
machine. Also, multiple instance of SunOS Minix can run on a single
machine simultaneously without interfering with each other.
SunOS Minix is produced by applying a set of patches to Mac Minix 1.5
(both 1.5.10.0 and 1.5.10.1 can be used) or PC Minix 1.5. Also, Atari
Minix has been used as the base version by at least one person. The
SunOS Minix patches are available via anonymous ftp from
csc.canterbury.ac.nz in the file SMX_2_00.TAR_Z in the UNIX directory.
Also in version 2 of SunOS Minix is our first efforts at providing support
for Solaris 2.0.
Any enquiries should be sent to paul@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz. There is a
SunOS Minix mailing list. Postings and admin requests for the mailing
list should be sent to the same address.
16. WHERE CAN I GET PAST POSTINGS AND PROGRAMS?
Many sites keep archives of MINIX-related material, ranging from
archives of articles posted to more organized repositories of programs posted
to the net. The complete MINIX distribution is NOT (repeat NOT) available
from any online archive. This is not permitted. Only the newsgroup traffic is
stored there.

16.1. File Transfer on the Internet
If you are on the Internet, you can get files from many places with the
file transfer protocol ("FTP"). When connecting to the host system, use
the user-name "anonymous" and any password. Most systems will ask for your
"ident" as a password. It is considered good etiquette to use either your
login name or mail address when asked. Once connected, look for a "README"
file which should give further information about the archive.
Consult your local documentation on the use of your FTP application
program (generally called "ftp"). Please be nice to the FTP sites by
restricting your use to non-business hours.

16.2. Mail Servers
Some archive sites provide access to their archives with a server program
that responds to commands mailed to it.
16.2.1. doc.ic.ac.uk
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:
request catalogue
topic minix
request end
This will mail you back details of the various ways to obtain the files.
This service is only available inside the UK. We have no funds to send
such mail internationally.
This archive service is run by Lee McLoughlin.
Janet: lmcl@uk.ac.ukc, lmjm@uk.ac.ic.doc
DARPA: lmjm%uk.ac.ic.doc@ucl-cs
Uucp: lmjm@icdoc.UUCP, ukc!icdoc!lmjm
16.2.2. vm1.nodak.edu
North Dakota State University is the host site for distribution of the
info-minix mailing list (also known as minix-l), which is bidirectionally
gatewayed to the Usenet group Comp.os.minix. We maintain archives of all
list traffic from within the past year or so (depending on space availability).
Archives are available via Anonymous FTP on the Internet, and LIST-SERV
file requests from other networks.
Our server is:
Internet: listserv@vm1.NoDak.EDU [134.129.111.1]
Bitnet: listserv@ndsuvm1
UUCP: uunet!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv
If you do not have Internet access, you may request files be sent to you by
our LISTSERV file server by sending it commands in the body of a mail message.
To obtain a list of the files, the INDEX command is used:
INDEX MINIX-L
The GET command will instruct LISTSERV to send you a file, such as:
get minix-l LOG9005A minix-l
to get the file "MINIX-L LOG9005A" from the directory "MINIX-L". The
filename tells what year, month, and week it is from:
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 availability.
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. On Bitnet, this is normally
the IBM "DISK DUMP" or "NETDATA" format, and for ther networks it is "List-
serv Punch".
Listserv Punch was designed by Listserv's author and is designed to send
files with lines longer than 80 characters thru the Bitnet gateways. A
special program to decode the file once it has arrived at your site.
Information on obtaining a program to decode listserv punch format is sent
with each encoded file.
If you would rather have a file sent to you uuencoded, you may specify
that in your GET command:
get minix info minix f=uuencode
please note that the file, once decoded, will be in EBCDIC!
SEARCHING THE MAILING LIST LOGS WITH LISTSERV
If you are looking for a specific article, or set of articles, you can
perform searches on this directory using the Database functions of Listserv.
For example, 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 90/04/01
index
and you will be sent a file containing all of the 'Subject:' lines sent to
the mailing list since December 1, 1989. If you wish to request one or
more items, replace the 'index' line in the above job with "print [ref-num]",
where "refnum" is the reference number from the index listing. Documentation
on this and other database functions is available by sending the command
"INFO DATABASE" to the listserv.
To obtain more information on the listserv, send the command:
INFO ?
and you will be enlightened with a list of available documentation on using
LISTSERV.
This archive is automatically maintained by the list server. If you have
questions, contact Glen Overby, <minix@plains.nodak.edu>, at North Dakota
State University, Fargo, ND USA (46 52 N / 96 48 W city)

17. MINIX Compatibility List (1 August 1990)
Introduction
============
This is a list of machines that MINIX has reportedly run on. An updated
version of this list will be posted when a sufficient number of entries
have been added or changed or when requested.
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 and followed a year later by 1.3. Version 1.4 was only released to
Usenet. Currently, Prentice-Hall ships version 1.5 (known as 1.5.10 to
Usenet).
Version 2.0 is in the planning stages and should be available late "next
year".
Only compatibility with PC MINIX 1.3 and greater is now reported in this
list.
ST MINIX
========
Version 1.1 is the currently available version and is currently
available from Prentice-Hall. Version 1.5 exists on the Net, but
is not yet available from Prentice-Hall.
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 2223 4 55555555 66666666 7777777777777777777777777
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.y indicates that the version is unknown.
3 - Subversion. The subversion of the above MINIX version. E.g., the
subversion of 1.5.0 is 0. If the subversion is not known, an 'x' will
be found in the field.
4 - 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).
5 - Date of Report. When the report was received.
6 - Report Submitter. This is a reference to the individual who
submitted the report. A list of submitters is included with the
report.
7 - 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.

This file contains brief instructions how to install and test Minix
demo IBM PC compatibel machine running MSDOS. These instructions has
worked with my 286 clone but aren't guaranteed to work in all
machines. This file isn't meant to be full reference manual, the files
manual.txt and READ_ME contain better guide for Minix demo.
In this document it is assumed that reader is familiar how to get
files with ftp.
NO WARRANTY
This file is provided as is without warranty of any kind, either
expressed or implied, including but not limited, the implied
warranties of merchantability and fittness for a particular purpose.
In no event will the author be liable to you for damages, including
any lost of profits, lost monies, or other special, incidenatl or
consequantial damages arising out of the use or inability to use
(including but not limited to loss data or data being rendered
inaccurate).
The directory contains demo files for Amiga, Atari ST and IBM PC
compatibles as well a document how to use Minix-demo in both
plain-ASCII and Postrcript format.
Get first file READ_ME, contains useful information about various
files. Read the file carefully, this file doesn't repeat all details
found there.
To continue, you need to get following files:
crc.c (or crc.com if you don't have C compiler)
demo_dsk.ibm.Z or demo_dsk.ibm
either manual.ps.Z or manual.ps
or manual.txt.Z or manual.txt
rawrite.c (or rawrite.exe if you don't have C compiler)
rawrite.doc
If you decide (recommended) to get compressed file (files with .Z
postfix) you need also to get comp430d.zip and pkz110.exe.
pkz110.exe is self extracting archieve, when you run it you get
actual zip-archiever. Read documents included within it.
Now you can unpack comp430d.zip which contains program to uncompress
compressed files. Uncompress them with the program.
Use the crc.com to check crc-checksums of files, correct values can be
found in file READ_ME. Usage of crc: 'crc file1 file2 ... fileN'.
Now you should format a 720kb or 360kb disk where the demo disk will
later be written. Use MSDOS's format program.
HINT: I had only 1.44Mb disk and when I tested the demo I had only
high density disks. It was possible to format 1.44Mb disk to 720kb disk
if you cover another hole in the disk.
Read file rawrite.doc. It contains information how to use rawrite.exe
to write a raw disk image onto disk.
Now you should have bootable Minix demo disk. Put it on your disk
drive and boot your machine. The copyright notice of Prentice Hall
should appear on top of screen. Refer manual.txt how to use Minix
demo.

Then copy it bit for bit to a floppy disk. These files are exact disk images.
They are not files readable by any operating system. They are bootable disks.
For the Atari, you must use a 360K diskette. For the SPARC, you need a 1.44M
diskette. The Amiga demo is a standard lharc archive.
To transfer the demo disk to a floppy, you need a program that can write
a raw disk image. A program 'rawrite' has been provided for MS-DOS users.
The Turbo C source (rawrite.c), the executable (rawrite.exe), and the
user manual (rawrite.doc) are provided in this directory. For the Atari,
use file2dsk instead of rawrite (see file2dsk.doc).
The demo user manual is available in PostScript form as manual.ps or as
flat ASCII text as manual.txt. If you can print PostScript, use the
former; if not, use the latter. The manual.txt file can be printed
on any printer that can handle ASCII text (including Form Feed).
The announcement file tells more about MINIX, describes the MINIX newsgroup,
comp.os.minix, and the MINIX archives. It is a flat ASCII file.
The files ending in .Z are compressed using the UNIX compress program.
Not all the files are compressed, just the larger ones. If you have the
UNIX or MINIX compress program, download the .Z files to save bandwidth, and
decompress them on your own machine. Please do not FTP during business
hours European time, (i.e., please FTP after 11 a.m. Eastern Standard Time).
Once more, to avoid any confusion, MINIX is not public domain or shareware.

MINIX INFORMATION SHEET
1. WHAT IS MINIX 1.5
MINIX 1.5 is a new version of an operating system that is very similar to
UNIX. MINIX has been written from scratch, and therefore does not contain any
AT&T code--not in the kernel, the compiler, the utilities, or the libraries.
For this reason it can be made available with the complete source code
(on diskette). It runs on the IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2, 386, and most clones.
Versions are also available for the Atari ST, Macintosh, and Amiga.
This version (1.5) is a major improvement over all previous releases, with
many new features, fewer bugs (hopefully), much better performance, and
proper documentation. The old versions have been in widespread use all over
the world for 3 years. There are probably tens of thousands of users.
2. MINIX 1.5 FEATURES (IBM, Macintosh, Atari, and Amiga versions)
- System call compatible with V7 of the UNIX operating system
- Full multiprogramming (multiple programs can run at once)
- Kernighan and Ritchie compatible C compiler
- Shell that is functionally identical to the Bourne shell
- Five editors (emacs subset, vi clone, ex, ed, and simple screen editor)
- Over 175 utilities (cat, cp, ed, grep, kermit, ls, make, sort, etc.)
- Over 200 library procedures (atoi, fork, malloc, read, stdio, etc.)
- Spelling checker with 40,000 word English dictionary
- Full source code (in C) supplied on diskettes (OS, utilities, libraries)
- Easy-to-read manual telling all about MINIX and how to install and use it
3. ADDITIONAL FEATURES
In addition to the above features, there are other features present in
some (but not all) versions of MINIX 1.5. Some of these are listed below.
3.1 ADDITIONAL MINIX 1.5 FEATURES (IBM VERSION):
- Runs in protected mode on 286 and 386
- Support for extended memory up to 16M on 286 and 386
- Up to 3 simultaneous users on one machine
- RS-232 serial line support with terminal emulation, kermit, zmodem, etc.
- Distributed computing on Ethernet (remote login, etc.)
3.2 ADDITIONAL MINIX 1.5 FEATURES (MACINTOSH VERSION):
- Up to 3 simultaneous users on one machine
- RS-232 serial line support with terminal emulation, kermit, zmodem, etc.
- Runs under Multifinder
- Includes support for multiple user windows
3.3 ADDITIONAL MINIX 1.5 FEATURES (ATARI ST VERSION)
- Up to 2 simultaneous users on one machine
- RS-232 serial line support with terminal emulation, kermit, zmodem, etc.
- Support for various real time clocks (Mega, BMS, ICD, Supra, Weide)
4. HARDWARE REQUIRED
- IBM: PC, XT, AT, PS/2, or 386 that is 100% hardware compatible with
the IBM line. A hard disk not technically required, but is
strongly recommended to take full advantage of the system. At
least 512K of RAM is required, as well as a CGA, EGA,
monochrome, or Hercules video card, or another card that
emulates one of these. Both 5.25" and 3.5" diskettes are
supported, as are printers using the parallel port and modems
and terminals using the serial port.
- Macintosh: Apple Macintosh Plus, SE, SE/30, II, IIcx, or IIx with at
least 1M of RAM. An additional 1M of RAM and a hard disk
is strongly recommended. MINIX has been tested primarily
with version 6.0 and latter of the Apple system software.
Problems may conceivably arise with earlier versions. Any
hard disk or display that is supported by the normal Macintosh
OS is also supported by MINIX.
- Atari: Atari ST or Mega ST with at least 1M of RAM. Although the
system will boot with only 512K, you will be very restricted
in what you can do. A 720K diskette drive is required to
install the software. The older 360K diskette drives are
supported, but are not capable of reading the (720K)
distribution disks. A hard disk is supported, but is optional.
Some of the Supra hard disks are not Atari compatible, which
can cause problems. A fix is available from the MINIX Centre.
- Amiga: Commodore Amiga 500 or 2000 with at least 1M of RAM. One 720K
diskette drive is sufficient. A hard disk is not required
(or even supported). To use a hard disk with the Amiga,
someone familiar with how this disk works will have to write
a driver for it. If this driver is then posted to the net,
it will be possible to use a hard disk with MINIX on the Amiga.

8. MINIX BOOK
The author of MINIX, Andrew S. Tanenbaum, has written a book describing
how operating systems in general and MINIX in particular work internally.
The book describes an earlier version (and includes a source listing), but
it is still useful for understanding how MINIX works inside, even if some
details are now different. The bibliographic information is:
Title: Operating Systems: Design and Implementation
Author: Andrew S. Tanenbaum
Publisher: Prentice-Hall
ISBN: 0-13-637406-9
Paperback versions are also available in English (outside North America only),
French, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese. The books can be ordered from any
bookstore.
9. MINIX DEMONSTRATION DISKS
MINIX demonstration disks for the PC line, the Atari, and the Macintosh
(but for technical reasons, not the Amiga) are available. The IBM and Atari
versions can be obtained by anonymous FTP over the internet. All three can
be obtained from Prentice-Hall (see below). The demo disks contained a
very, very stripped down version of MINIX, just to give an idea of what it
can do. The demo disk is accompanied by a 30-page manual.
To get either free demo disk and its manual, use ftp to connect to
ftp.cs.vu.nl (192.31.231.42) and look in pub/minix. The following files
are available there:
READ_ME Description of directory contents
demo_dsk.ibm 360K MINIX demo disk for Intel CPUs
demo_dsk.st 720K MINIX demo disk for Atari ST
manual.ps Demo manual in PostScript form
manual.txt Demo manual as flat ASCII text
announcement Description of MINIX and its newsgroup
Compressed versions of these files (with suffix .Z) are also there.
AS A COURTESY TO US, PLEASE DO NOT FTP DURING BUSINESS HOURS (EUROPEAN
TIME). PLEASE FTP AFTER 11 A.M. EASTERN STANDARD TIME. ALSO, IF YOU
ARE ABLE TO UNCOMPRESS FILES, TAKE THE .Z VERSIONS TO SAVE BANDWIDTH.

11. LEGAL STATUS OF MINIX
Although MINIX is supplied with the complete source code, it is
copyrighted software. It is not public domain. It is also not like GNU.
However, the copyright owner, Prentice-Hall has granted permission to bona
fide universities to copy the software for use in courses and in university
research projects. It is also permitted for MINIX owners to change the
software to suit their needs and to distribute diff listings containing
their changes freely. The shrink-wrap license that comes with MINIX states
that you may legally make two backup copies of the software. Prentice-Hall
is being much less strict than other software vendors. Please do not abuse
this. Companies that wish to embed MINIX in commercial systems or sell
MINIX-based products should call (212) 753-7753 to discuss licensing terms.
12. NEWS ABOUT MINIX
Since its introduction in January 1987, there has been a large an
active USENET newsgroup about MINIX, comp.os.minix. It currently has
about 25,000 members. Over 12,000 messages have been posted to this
group so far. These messages have contained questions, bug reports,
bug fixes, new software, and diff listings to allow current users to
update to new releases for free. It is the intention to continue this
policy into the indefinite future. MINIX users on Bitnet can be put on
a mailing list by sending mail to: info-minix-request@udel.edu. Various
archives store newsgroup traffic for newcomers to the newsgroup.
13. FUTURE PLANS
The major current project is bringing MINIX into conformance with
the IEEE POSIX P1003.1 and P1003.2 standards. This will (hopefully)
occur with V2.0, perhaps in 1992. V2.0 will also be provided with an
ANSI C compiler. Various people are currently working on 32-bit versions
of MINIX for the 386, and numerous other projects. To keep up, subscribe
to the comp.os.minix newsgroup.
14. WHERE CAN I GET PAST POSTINGS AND PROGRAMS?
Many sites keep archives of MINIX-related material, ranging from
archives of articles posted to more organized repositories of programs posted
to the net. The complete MINIX distribution is NOT (repeat NOT) available
from any online archive. This is not permitted. Only the newsgroup traffic is
stored there.

14.1. File Transfer on the Internet
If you are on the Internet, you can get files from many places with the
file transfer protocol ("FTP"). When connecting to the host system, use
the user-name "anonymous" and any password. Most systems will ask for your
"ident" as a password. It is considered good etiquette to use either your
login name or mail address when asked. Once connected, look for a "README"
file which should give further information about the archive.
Consult your local documentation on the use of your FTP application
program (generally called "ftp"). Please be nice to the FTP sites by
restricting your use to non-business hours.
The following sites provide Anonymous FTP

14.2. Mail Servers
Some archive sites provide access to their archives with a server program
that responds to commands mailed to it.
14.2.1. doc.ic.ac.uk
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:
request catalogue
topic minix
request end
This will mail you back details of the various ways to obtain the files.
This service is only available inside the UK. We have no funds to send
such mail internationally.
This archive service is run by Lee McLoughlin.
Janet: lmcl@uk.ac.ukc, lmjm@uk.ac.ic.doc
DARPA: lmjm%uk.ac.ic.doc@ucl-cs
Uucp: lmjm@icdoc.UUCP, ukc!icdoc!lmjm
14.2.2. NL-MUG
This archive is temporarily unavailable.
14.2.3. plains.nodak.edu
An archive of MINIX upgrades and other interesting files are kept in a
manually-maintained archive on Plains.NoDak.edu [134.129.111.64].
For those not fortunate enough to be on the Internet itself, we run the
Clarkson server to process mail requests. This is an extremely versatile
program, that allows various encoding formats (btoa, uuencode), compression
(compress, arc, zoo) and splitting of large files. The server has been
customized to send HELP and Index files at any time, and all other files
between 23:00 and 08:00 local time. If you submit a request that contains
*any* file that is not a Help or Index file, the entire request is queued
until late night (currently 23:00 local time, but that may be moved to
earlier hours of the morning if it proves to be a large load on the system).
The addresses for the server are:
archive-server@plains.nodak.edu
{umn-cs, ogicse, uunet}!plains!archive-server (UUCP)
fileserv@plains (Bitnet)
Note to Bitnet people: this server is not 'logged on' to the machine, so
you cannot send it interactive messages. The 'fileserv' alias was added
for those of you who do not run the Croswell mailer, but you must still use
something that is detectable as mail (such as a NOTE). Bitnet files will
drop into our bit bucket, unprocessed, since there is no real user by either
of these names.
To obtain a list of the files, the INDEX command is used:
index [ <directory> ]
where <directory> is a directory under our ~ftp/pub login(empty for the
main directory). There are several other directories of programs for
microcomputers, current volumes for comp.sources.* and some of the Free
Software Foundation's products.
The SEND command is used for having files sent to you, such as in:
send MINIX/doc/Info_Sheet
That file is a copy of the monthly "MINIX Information Sheet" posting. The
MINIX Compatibility Report is available in the file "MINIX/doc/Compatibility".
There are many more options for having your files compressed (note: most
files in these directories already have been compressed with 13-bit
compression), uuencoded, split, and so on. To obtain more information on
the server, send the command:
help
and you will be enlightened. The server accepts commands in mixed case, but
all directory/file names are case significant (just like MINIX).
This archive is maintained by Glen Overby, <minix@plains.nodak.edu>, at
North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND USA (46 52 N / 96 48 W city)
14.2.4. vm1.nodak.edu
North Dakota State University is the host site for distribution of the
info-minix mailing list (also known as minix-l), which is bidirectionally
gatewayed to the Usenet group Comp.os.minix. We maintain archives of all
list traffic from within the past year or so (depending on space availability).
Archives are available via Anonymous FTP on the Internet, and LIST-SERV
file requests from other networks.
Our server is:
Internet: listserv@vm1.NoDak.EDU [134.129.111.1]
Bitnet: listserv@ndsuvm1
UUCP: psuvax1!ndsuvm1.bitnet!listserv
uunet!plains!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv
If you do not have Internet access, you may request files be sent to you by
our LISTSERV file server by sending it commands in the body of a mail message.
To obtain a list of the files, the INDEX command is used:
INDEX MINIX-L
The GET command will instruct LISTSERV to send you a file, such as:
get minix-l LOG9005A minix-l
to get the file "MINIX-L LOG9005A" from the directory "MINIX-L". The
filename tells what year, month, and week it is from:
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 availability.
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. On Bitnet, this is normally
the IBM "DISK DUMP" or "NETDATA" format, and for ther networks it is "List-
serv Punch".
Listserv Punch was designed by Listserv's author and is designed to send
files with lines longer than 80 characters thru the Bitnet gateways. A
special program to decode the file once it has arrived at your site.
Information on obtaining a program to decode listserv punch format is sent
with each encoded file.
If you would rather have a file sent to you uuencoded, you may specify
that in your GET command:
get minix info minix f=uuencode
please note that the file, once decoded, will be in EBCDIC!
SEARCHING THE MAILING LIST LOGS WITH LISTSERV
If you are looking for a specific article, or set of articles, you can
perform searches on this directory using the Database functions of Listserv.
For example, 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 90/04/01
index
and you will be sent a file containing all of the 'Subject:' lines sent to
the mailing list since December 1, 1989. If you wish to request one or
more items, replace the 'index' line in the above job with "print [ref-num]",
where "refnum" is the reference number from the index listing. Documentation
on this and other database functions is available by sending the command
"INFO DATABASE" to the listserv.
To obtain more information on the listserv, send the command:
INFO ?
and you will be enlightened with a list of available documentation on using
LISTSERV.
This archive is automatically maintained by the list server. If you have
questions, contact Glen Overby, <minix@plains.nodak.edu>, at North Dakota
State University, Fargo, ND USA (46 52 N / 96 48 W city)
14.3. Publicly accessable Bulletin Boards
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 archive.
The BBS is not a true gateway to Usenet, like some Fidonet nodes are;
rather it is a "delivery service" whereby new comp.os.minix articles are
gathered daily and posted as messages on the BBS. Long articles are
automatically 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 interest 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 index,
then download the ARC files that contain articles of interest to you.
A complete index is always in MNXINDEX.ARC.

This program is intended to copy the demonstration copy of MINIX-ST to floppy
disk. Any other use indicates a warped mind, and you should get help fast!
Why? Because this copies a file bit for bit, sector for sector to the A:
floppy. No questions asked. It'll work with any file, and can thoroughly
confuse and trash TOS, forcing a reboot.
Usage is simple:
file2dsk filename.ext [B:]
Where filename.ext can be any legal pathname, ending with filename.ext.
The B: on the end is optional. Matter of fact, any extra word out there
means to use drive B:. (For instance, you could type 'BILL' out there)
and file2dsk would assume you had meant drive b.
WARNING: This program will eat whatever is stored on the drive you chose.
Matter of fact, you should format the floppy as single sided, USING THE
DESKTOP, prior to using this program! No other configuration is supported,
recommended, allowed or condoned. (We'll get Guido out after the offenders)
Once you've done this, you must turn the ST off for a few seconds, because it
still thinks that the floppy in drive A: is not bootable, and won't pay any
attention if you simply hit the reset button. Turn your ST on, give it about
15 seconds, and you should hear the magical sound of the floppy booting, and
see the screen go black. You're on your own from there!

I am in no way affiliated with Prentice Hall, or Minix-st.

Yeah, the BS rights area....hm....
This program MAY NOT be charged for other than the costs of duplication. I'll
be happy to send uuencoded versions to anyone who needs it, assuming they have
access to internet. If someone reads this, and MUST have a copy, I'll mail
the source (in Sozobon C) and program on a floppy for $4.00...cheap, but that's
my price.
------------------------------ Method 2 ------------------------------
If you have only one drive, you can use a RAMDISK. Download the file
dyer512.prg. If not yet present, make a subdirectory A:\AUTO on the floppy
that by now should contain dyer512.prg, demo_dsk.st and file2dsk.ttp.
Copy dyer512.prg into the A:\AUTO directory. Reboot from this floppy.
Now you can:
- Go into command mode (by clicking COMMAND.PRG or GULAM.PRG, or some
other command language program).
- Copy demo_dsk.st and file2dsk.ttp onto M:
- Change working directory to M:
- Remove A:
- Insert the fresh formatted demo disk
- Use file2dsk.ttp to copy demo_dsk.st onto A:

MINIX is a UNIX-like operating system for the IBM PC, XT, AT, 386,
and PS/2, as well as the Apple Macintosh, Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, and
later in 1991, Sun SPARC. It is available with all the source code for
the entire operating system, the libraries, and nearly 200 UNIX-like
utilities.
Demonstration disks for the IBM PC line and Atari ST are available for free
via anonymous FTP for people on the Internet. A Macintosh version will be
online soon. (If you can't wait, see below.)
To get a free demo disk and the manual, use ftp to connect to
ftp.cs.vu.nl (192.31.231.42) and look in pub/minix/demo. The READ_ME
file describes the contents of the directory and how to use it. Be sure to
fetch and read this first. It contains important information.
If you don't have FTP access, you can buy the demo disk package from Prentice-
Hall for $10 by calling (201) 767-5969 or FAX (201) 767-5625. Please DON'T
ask me to send it by email. I have quite enough work already thank you.
The ordering numbers for Prentice-Hall are:
- MINIX 1.5 IBM demo disk (0-13-582768-x) (in stock now)
- MINIX 1.5 Atari demo disk (0-13-582792-2) (in stock now)
- MINIX 1.5 Macintosh demo disk (0-13-582784-1) (in stock now)
Please note that although the demo disks are available for free on line,
MINIX itself is copyrighted software and is not available on line. The
demo disks are also copyrighted, but permission is hereby granted to
upload and use them for evaluation purposes. The READ_ME file tells how
MINIX can be ordered.
AS A COURTESY TO US, PLEASE DO NOT FTP DURING BUSINESS HOURS (EUROPEAN
TIME). PLEASE FTP AFTER 11 A.M. EASTERN STANDARD TIME.
If you want to follow the MINIX discussion, read the comp.os.minix
newsgroup, which is quite active and has almost 50,000 subscribers.
Have fun!

RaWrite 1.2
-----------
Purpose
-------
Write a disk image file to a 360K floppy disk.
Equipment/Software Requirements
-------------------------------
PC/XT/AT with a floppy disk drive capable of reading and writing a 360K
diskette.
This program uses generic low-level BIOS diskette read/write functions. It
should be portable to nearly every PC in existance. PS/2's should be able
to run RawWrite but this has not been tested.
CAVEAT
------
This program will write ANY disk file to a floppy, overwriting any previous
information that may have been present. If you wish to re-use a diskette
under MS-DOS thats been written to by RawWrite then the disk will need to be
reformatted; all MS-DOS specific information will have been erased.
How to Compile
--------------
TCC rawrite.c
The source code is specific to Borland International's Turbo C 2.01 and has
been tested in all memory models.
Usage
-----
C> RAWRITE
And follow the prompts. All arguments are case-insensitive.
A sample run is shown below. The disk file being written, in this example,
is named DEMODISK and the destination - where the image is being written -
is the B: drive.
This program may be aborted at any time by typing ^C.
Sample Run
----------
C> RAWRITE
RaWrite 1.2 - Write disk file to raw floppy diskette
Enter source file name: DEMODISK
Enter destination drive: B
Please insert a formatted 360K diskette into drive B: and press -ENTER- :
Writing image to drive B:
Errors
------
RaWrite attempts to determine if the diskette is a 360K, 720K, 1.2M, or
1.44M diskette by reading specific sectors. If the inserted diskette is not
one of the mentioned types, then RaWrite will abort with a short error
message.
Errors such as write protect, door open, bad disk, bad sector, etc. cause a
program abort with a short error message.

1.1 - Beta test (fixing bugs) 4/5/91

ADDENDUM TO THE MINIX MANUAL FOR THE SPARC DEMO DISK
Almost all of the
"Reference Manual for the MINIX 1.5 Demonstration Disk"
is applicable to the MINIX-SPARC 1.5 demo disk as well.
This note explains the differences, on a section by section basis.
1. Introduction.
- SparcStations have no parallel port for printers. You might be able
to use a serial port, although this is not tested.
- SparcStations do not distinguish between real and protected mode.
All addresses spaces are protected using the SparcStation MMU.
- ethernet, remote login and network file transfer are currently
not supported in the MINIX-SPARC 1.5 product.
- The MINIX-SPARC 1.5 demo does support mounting of file systems, but
has no provision to create new MINIX file systems.
- the MINIX-SPARC demo has two editors: mined and vi.
1.1. Booting MINIX.
- step 2: read "internal floppy disk" for "drive 0"
- step 4: do no hit the '=' key, but:
- interrupt booting vmunix, if necessary, by hitting L1-a
- insert the demo diskette
- if you get the ">" prompt, type "b fd()"
if you get the "ok " prompt, type "boot fd()"
- step 5: if you simply hit "Return" the date will be set to the
current Greenwich Mean Time, as stored in the RealTimeClock chip.
When you boot you will see 3 windows appearing on your screen.
You can switch windows by hitting the "L1"/"Stop" key. The window
with the highlighted border will receive keyboard input.
To eject the diskette from the diskette unit you can hit the
"L2"/"Again" key.
If you want to reboot (SunOS or MINIX), you can type "CTRL-ALT-DEL".
1.2 Making and Mounting File Systems.
For the other hardware platforms (IBM/PC, Atari ST, etc.) the demo
disk is rather full. To do some useful work this section describes
how to create some working space. For MINIX-SPARC this is not needed,
so you can skip this section.
1.3 Using the Mined Editor.
In addition to Mined, the MINIX-SPARC demo comes with Vi.
Most of the Vi commands, as described in the SunOS documentation,
will work.
For Mined, the function keys are the same as for the Atari ST
1.5 Printing.
As mentioned above, printing is not fully tested.
2. Manual Pages
The command mkfs, to make new file systems, is not present on the
MINIX-SPARC demo disk.
Commands that are added to the MINIX-SPARC demo disk are: mv, vi
and readall. The commansd mv and vi will be familiar to users of
a SparcStation. The manual page for readall is:
Command: read a device quickly to check for bad blocks
Syntax: readall [-bt] file
Flags: -b Produce shell script on stdout that calls badblocks
-t Just print device size
Example: readall /dev/hd0 Read all of /dev/hd0
readall -b /dev/hd1 >s Generate shell script on s
Readall reads all of the named device in large chunks. It reports about
blocks that it cannot read. Unlike diskcheck, it does not attempt to
write on the disk, making it safer to use when one is worried about a
sick system When the -b flag is given, the output is a shell script
that calls the badblocks program to marked all the bad blocks.
Whenever installing MINIX it is wise to run readall with the -b flag
first on all the hard disks.
3. Description of Full MINIX 1.5
3.1. MINIX Reference Manual Table of Contents
