I just bought Minix 1.5.10 and installed it a couple of days ago. I have an IBM XT clone with two speeds - the regular 4.77 MHz and the "turbo" 8 MHz setting. When I run at 4.77 MHz, everything works fine. However, at 8 MHz, when I try to use 'lpr' or even 'echo foo > /dev/lp', the system complains that the printer is out of paper. MS-DOS prints fine at 4.77 or 8 MHz. Is there something really time-critical in the Minix printer driver? I'd really like to run at 8 MHz because compiling at 4.77 is sloooow... -- David F. Skoll
