I'm posting this for a friend, plese try his email address first,
and mine as a last result. I'll relay any mail, sent to me, on to him.
Please do not post, as I do not have a chance to read the net much. and he
has no net access.
Many Thanks,

Well, I just wasted a bundle of money on MINIX 1.5 for my Amiga. I read
the side of the box and got kinda excited that I could put a UNIX V7-like
OS on my Amiga. Well, I sure can, but as it is stated in the two page
section on how to run it on an Amiga:
MINIX supports most common peripherals, except a hard disk
^^^^^^^^^
"Yikes!!! I'm totally screwed! What kind of ripoff is this!" I thought.
Well, I have the source and I have a wee bit of time, but I don't feel like
trying to write Hard Disk drivers myself. So, if either of you could
peruse through "comp.os.minix" (and maybe even post a request for info
on Hard Disk drivers for MINIX on the Amiga) I would really appreciate it.
I'd appreciate it even more if you actually passed any responses that might
occur along to me.
Anyway, if you have time and remember, please take a look at the news group
and post the request.
Thanks,
Jeff Makaiwi
