- The system I use (an Applix 1616) is based around the 68k. It runs an
- operating system that's sort of Unix but not quite.
-
- About a year or so ago someone ported Minix (version 1.3 I think, but
- might have been 1.4) to the machine, although I have never personally
- tried it out.
-
- If you want to find out some more about it, write to Applix Pty Ltd at
- the following address:
-
- Applix Pty Ltd,
- Lot 1A, Kent Street,
- Yerinbool, NSW 2575,
- Australia.
-
- I'm sorry that I can't tell you more about it, but I don't really know!
