I know there's MINIX for the 68000 and SPARC (as of 2.0) and of ARM
(as of 3.0), but I've never heard of MINIX for the PDP-11.  Given that
MINIX 1.0 will run on a 5150-type IBM PC, the utilities and such
should fit into a 64KB address space, but without some digging
wouldn't know if they also depend on split I&D or not (since that's
"free" on Intel CPUs).

It might be do-able, but wouldn't be done quickly.  I remember more
than a little IBM assembler in the MINIX sources, and I don't recall
how tightly the old stuff is tied to the processor and/or ISA Bus
implementation.
