The URL is:

http://minix1.bio.umass.edu/pub/contrib/mx204bx01.zip

if that site is down you can also try this one:

http://minix1.hampshire.edu/pub/contrib/mx204bx01.zip

Note that for this image to work you need to pass the "-hdachs 200,16,63"
option to qemu or else the minix bootloader will not work.

Also note that, due to a bug in Minix, you will not be able to use the ethernet
card. I have not figured out how to fix Minix yet, but I do have a patch that
adds a workaround to qemu itself, so that the emulation will work with Minix's
broken driver. If you want it, I can send it to you, but be aware that its 
against
qemu 0.5.5, not qemu CVS.
