Well after swapping ICUs etc. nothing seems to have changed. I'm begining to suspect the copy of the boot image we have... whats the possibility of a new image Bruce ? (or anyone else for that matter). Our Minix is dated: Wed Jan 06 18:35:42 PDT 1990 Marcb

That's really old! You need a monitor dated after April 1990 (earlier versions didn't use direct exception mode and, hence, will not work with Minix) and a Minix dated from the middle of summer 1990, preferably the end of August (fixes a memory allocation bug and a bug in the code to determine the RAM size). Send me an original Prentice-Hall Minix boot disk with the copyright on it plus six bucks and I will send you my "official" pc532 Minix distribution. And, of course, I will return your boot disk. By the way, my address has changed. Here's my new address: Bruce Culbertson 4250 El Caminio Real #D334 Palo Alto, CA 94306 U.S.A. Cheers, Bruce
