Hi all!
It's been quite a while since I was messing with Minix386 back in the days
when Bruce Evans released a set of patches to bring 386 support.
I'm pretty sure over on oldlinux.org the patch set exists, but I can only
find the one set of binaries of his 386 toolchain.
I know it eventually evolved into the bin86 toolchain that Linus would go on
to use to create real mode boot code, but I don't know if any of the source
code to his 1991/1992 386 toolchain ever got published?
Thanks in advance!

Jason Stevens
