Utilities and patches for Minix i386

These are the result of work I originally did on the Prisma which has then been back-ported to Minix i386.

ttcp.tar.Z 46,675 TCP performance tester
select-0.1.taz 69,133 Patches to add select() to 2.0.2

Patches to ISODE to implement a boot server for the Prisma

The patches to ISODE implement a crude boot server which can be used to transfer ../images to a Prisma diskless workstation. It recognises Minix 68k and NetBSD-Amiga a.out format executables.

Patches for Minix on the Prisma

The Prisma patches are a set of diffs between the Minix 2.0.2 distribution with the select() patches and my current Prisma kernel sources. I have done them this way in order to keep the Prisma changes separate from the select() changes. I don't really expect anyone else to actually run Minix on a Prisma but I hope that the patches may be of use to people who are porting Minix to other 680x0 based platforms.

Sources for Minix on the Prisma

These are the complete sources for my final version of Minix 2.0.2 for the Prisma. The main difference between these, and the result of applying the patches listed above, is that I removed the ramdisk and added an experimental SCSI driver instead. Some people requested the complete sources, rather than patches, so here they are.

Here are the sources for applications which I have ported to the Prisma.

Cross-compiler tools and patches

I use a cross-compiler running on NetBSD 1.3 on an Amiga to compile the kernel and commands for Minix on the Prisma. The components are available below. Although these should build on other Un*x flavours, the binutils have no configuration options for host systems with different byte ordering so currently they are only usable on m68k based hosts.
