Thanks for all your help, but the main problems that I'm having
at the moment is finding the code for the device drivers that
Minix 2.0 has in it at the moment.

The machine that I'm working on is an iMac, because that is what
the college gave me, I'm told that the chip is an MPC601.

At present, I'm working from LinuxPPC, and compiling any code
that I need there using the PowerPC specific compiler.

All assembly code is more than likely going to be ported using
PortASM.

I have been working on this for a few months now, and since it
took me so long to get going, with the iMac not arriving until
yesterday, I find myself running very short on time, with a
mountain of things to do.  I only have 4 weeks left now, and
don't think that I'm going to get it finished in time.

I really need help.  The version that the college wants ported
is version 2.0, so I'm kind  of stuck with it now.

Please help
Kitten
