Tyson Liddell at #minix mail list posted that have recently been exploring MINIX 1.1 and put together a dev environment containing the MINIX source code and a vendored-in 8086/8088 cross-compiler (dev86/Bruce's C Compiler). Available at https://codeberg.org/tlid/minix
Hello everyone, I made some updates to ManpageViewer, fixed some bugs, implemented interface improvements, now it's easier to read the manpages, and the search system has also been improved. As you can see, I also adopted another name. I also expanded the scope, with the creation of "Custom Manpages," I can add the manpages of a specific software.

@kkarhan @f4grx @projectanchorage Idea! Use the #Minix kernel for Echium.
It's old but still modern, not updated since 2018 (according to master branch of Minix on GitHub), doesn't have AI slop, looks fun to hack on, it's BSD-like and a descendant of #UNIX. It's perfect because it compiles. We also continue Minix!
Might copy the src to the Echium #Codeberg repo, push, modify, strip and get others on. I'm open to peeps asking to join too given they're against genAI.
IMHO #linux bisa seperti saat ini bukan karena diawali ingin menjadi sesuatu yang ideal tetapi justru karena pragmatisme.
Pd saat itu desain #microkernel #minix yg tdk monolithic dianggap sebagai mimpi indah idealisme sebuah #kernel. Tetapi Torvalds dan yang lain melihat banyak hal sangat ribet untuk diimpelmentasikan menggunakan desain microkernel, sehingga mereka memilih pragmatis.
Hingga lahir dan terus berkembanglah linux yang tidak ideal tapi bisa berevolusi menjadi seperti sekarang.

"Thirty-three years later, they still do."
A wonderful story about the beginning of the Linux kernel, that makes you appreciate this collective effort which is a wonder in itself.

Amusing aside on that score:
I looked at Lynx's vaunted 1991-patented interrupt handling for #LynxOS.
There's prior art for it in the forms of KMOS, an operating system used for teaching purposes by Milan Milenković (who published a book on operating systems in 1987 describing kernel-task-based interrupt handling), and indeed in #Minix too.
