Over time I have been looking for a book which can guide say a C/C++ programmer to write his/her own simple OS. Normally books only discuss the various modules(Memory Management, Process Management etc) and stop at that, in case of book on Minix by Andrew S. Tanenbaum it supplied the source code but didn't devote chapters on writing part of the souce code. Any such book available somewhere or is there a plan for the same on Wikibook/Wikiversity.

The drivers do not have access to the I/O port space and cannot issue I/O instructions directly. Instead, they must make kernel calls giving a list of I/O ports to write to and the values to be written. [...]
...
In turn, the file server gets disk I/O performed by sending messages to the disk driver, which actually controls the disk. [...]
These two statements seem to contradict themselves. -- Abdull ( talk) 23:26, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
They're not. Message sending has nothing to do with I/O ports. (Anonymous) —Preceding

The wide variety of hardware including immutable CPU's designed just for Minix3 can cause confusion. With Minix3 you can do many things as evidenced by the unhackable applications. Scottprovost ( talk) 22:54, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

how about a brief section on similarities and differences between minix-3 and other microrkernels? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.136.108.216 ( talk) 22:39, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
There are too many "we" and the like for it too be called neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.217.4.135 ( talk) 15:03, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
I agree with the above paragraph. However, in my opinion the whole article feels like a brochure. In addition, it also looks like a project page (with all the different release descriptions). The article would need a fair amount of rewrite - also to have it structured better - since it also looks like an organically grown scratch pad. Should the article be tagged in any way to show some of these matters? I don't have experience enough as a Wikipedia-writer to do that myself, to ensure that a tag would be used as unbiased as possible. However, it is an important to have a Minix 3 article!

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 2 external links on
MINIX 3. Please take a moment to review

Iin the table at right it says 3.3.0 is the latest release. In the body it says 3.4.0 is the latest release. Encyclopedant ( talk) 06:22, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
Minix3 is owned by Delft University of Technology since that is where Professor Tanenbaum was employed when he wrote it. It is maintained under the stewardship of Stichting MINIX Research Foundation.
"Up until now, we have had the luxury of European Research Council funding for several expert professional programmers and support from the Vrije Universiteit. That will end in 2014. Also, one of us (AST) has paid for the server personally. In the longer run, we are going to need money to keep the infrastructure going, renew domain names, and other things. To keep the show on the road, we have set up a Stichting ("foundation") based in Amsterdam to handle money going forward. The foundation is nonprofit and its mission is to support and develop MINIX."

The correct name for the operating system which is a composition of NetBSD minus kNetBSD, plus Minix 3 (ie. which uses Minix 3 instead of kNetBSD), is actually NetBSD+Minix3, since that accurately shows how most of the system is NetBSD, and Minix 3, which is a kernel, came along later, unplugged kNetBSD, and plugged in Minix 3 in its place. 185.217.158.63 ( talk) 16:04, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
