The information on this page is now in the emulated and virtual platforms (/hints.html#emul-virt) section of the Minix Hints/FAQ page. If you got to this page from a bookmark please update the bookmark. This page will be removed at some time in the future.

VMWare is a commercial software product that allows multiple operating systems to run and even interact on virtual machines on a single computer.

More information is available on Patrick Wagstrom's Minix under VMWare how-to page.
Oops! As of August 2003 Wagstrom's site and this page have vanished from the web. I found a cached copy of the text here on Google. I don't know how long it will remain accessible. The text of the article was also posted to the minix-l mailing list and should be retrievable from the Minix-l archives. The original article includes a copyright notice. I will repost it here if I can reach the author and get permission.
Jeff Absher contributed a note on Minix to host file transfers on VMWare.

I am interested in hearing of similar projects, please write to me, awoodhull@hampshire.edu.
