I agree with your observation BTW, but I will point out that every server based on Intel
Si runs a V7 flavor called Minux in the IPMI node.
You may be thinking of MINIX 1. It was a from-scratch implementation that was syscall
compatible with V7 but IIRC it didn't have any sort of memory protection as it was
designed to run on 8088. What runs on the Intel Management Engine is MINIX 3, a µkernel
design with NetBSD userland. As Prof. Tanenbaum said, "MINIX 1 and MINIX 3 are
related in the same way as Windows 3.1 and Windows XP are: same first name".
