I have not yet connected my SCSI drive to the board (The drive has lots of files I need to find a new home for). But, I have created a 2 Meg Ram disk and have been compiling and porting a number of my programs. The system is great! I have compiled a 30,000 line source program in just over 1 minute. The compiler and other tool are quite stable. Remember this is an Alpha release on new hardware. I did hang the system once, but thats part of the fun. Using the ram disk has been quite usefull (I am in fact trying to decide if I should get another 4Meg of ram). I even have a modified "dload" program that will download and boot MINIX 532 from my AT. Dave, George and Bruce, thanks for a job will done. Ron Irvine.
