Application file:

MacMinix 1.5.10.7 is the Macintosh version of MINIX, a Unix clone. MacMINIX unlike other ports of MINIX, runs on top of the Macintosh OS. It also runs really well on Mini vMac.

The ".sit" DL contains a "Stuffed" Disk Copy 6 image file that is more suited for those running a Classic Mac OS or PPC OS X.
MD5 checksum & Filename: d0aa937f9ff0cfa745df955c815e5985 *macminix_15107.sit
The ".zip" DL contains a zipped ".hfv" drive container, more suited to mounting from a Windows or Unix PC.
MD5 checksum & Filename: ca68fa7a6ba633ea59f5553f7c64a248 *macminix_15107.zip

Compatibility:

68k although it might be possible on to run on PPC (See Brad's MacMinix link above).
Probably not compatible on an '040 Mac without patching (patch supplied in DL) so use with caution if trying this on Basilisk II.
Not compatible with Mac OS 8.0 or newer.
Runs very well on Mini vMac running System 6 to 7.5 including the alpha Mini vMac II port. All screenshots above were taken on Mini vMac & MvM II running SSW 6.0.8
