I have acquired couple of Ricoh EX5120 computers. They are 8088 based and the design is based on the IBM PC, but they are _not_ IBM PC compatible. They normally run MP/M-86 or Concurrent CP/M-86 and have 2 HD floppies (but no hard disk). My questions are: 1) Can Minix 1.5 run on a HD floppy based system, or does it need a hard disk for other reasons? 2) How difficult is it likely to be to port Minix? Is it likely to be worth the effort? Any suggestions would be appreciated by E-mail and I will summarise if warranted. -- Peter Jeremy (VK2PJ) peter@stca77.stc.oz.AU Alcatel STC Australia ...!uunet!stca77.stc.oz!peter 240 Wyndham St peter%stca77.stc.oz@uunet.UU.NET ALEXANDRIA NSW 2015

Hello all, I have a little question about minix. I ported minix st 1.5 to a PT68K computer using minix st 1.1 which was ported by someone else to the PT68K already. After some problems, the ported minix booted fine. No problem. It asked for the root device. Just before reading root, it gave an error: Memory fault - core dumped Where came this message from???? I couldn't find it. Can somebody help me? Dieter Dieter Flunkert d_flunkert@cen.jrc.it

This look very much as if you have used your 1.1 root image for use with 1.5 If you want to do this, chmem all Programs to new_value = max(10000, old_value) reason: MM allocates more stack space for the arguments C.v.W.
