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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|

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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|

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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following sites provide Anonymous FTP

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.

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.

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.
|
||
|
