Demand for the 68k-architectures waned, however, and MINIX 2.0, released in 1997, was only available for the [[x86]] and [[Solaris (operating system)|Solaris]]-hosted SPARC architectures. It was the subject of the second edition of Tanenbaum's textbook, cowritten with Albert Woodhull and was distributed on a [[CD-ROM]] included with the book. MINIX 2.0 added [[POSIX]].1 compliance, support for 386 and later processors in 32-bit mode and replaced the [[Amoeba (operating system)|Amoeba]] network protocols included in MINIX 1.5 with a [[TCP/IP]] stack.  A version of MINIX running as a user process under [[SunOS]] and [[Solaris (operating system)|Solaris]] was also available, a simulator named SMX (operating system) or just ''SMX'' for short.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.minix3.org/previous-versions/CD-ROM-2.0/README.TXT|title=Welcome to MINIX|format=TXT|date=22 July 2005|access-date=2 August 2011|first1=Andrew S.|last1=Tanenbaum|author-link1=Andrew S.

Version 2.0.3 was released in May 2001. It was the first version after MINIX had been relicensed under the [[BSD licenses|BSD-3-Clause]] license, which was retroactively applied to all previous versions.<ref name="bsd3clause">{{cite web|title=BSD-3-Clause|url=http://www.cs.vu.nl/pub/minix/LICENSE|access-date=2021-06-14|archive-date=2000-04-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000414094106/http://www.cs.vu.nl/pub/minix/LICENSE|url-status=dead}}</ref>
