This tutorial will walk the reader through setting up Minix 2.0.4 on Windows XP via Bochs 2.1.1. These are the latest versions of Minix, Bochs and Windows XP as of May of 2004. In this era of Linux and Windows domination of the OS scene, it is important to remember that there are alternatives. Hence, this article will also serve as an introduction to one such alternative, Minix, which has a very rich heritage, indeed.

I find it odd that the author failed to get ReactOS or Syllable to work on Bochs though. I've booted ReactOS on Bochs plenty of times without any problems. Syllable on Bochs is hardly worth it, but if you boot from the floppy disk images instead of the Syllable CD it will work. You wouldn't want to use it, but it will work.
Seconded. QEMU is much, much faster.
