[comp.os.minix] IBMPC Demo for 3.5"?

cmj851@csc.anu.edu.au (Richard Walker) (02/21/91)

I couldn't get the demo to work on my Amstrad PPC640 (I got
a `nonmaskable interrupt' after pressing `='), which leads me
to suspect that the demo is destined only to work on computers
with 360K 5.25" disks, and not on 720K 3.5" systems - such as mine.

If this is the case, is there a 720K version available?

It worked fine for me by just copying the demo disk to 3.5" disks.
This is on a clone xt and clone 386.
I would suspect the copying process to the 3.5 inch disk.

I was able to get the demo up and running on my FlexCache 25386Z with a 1.44 
Mb floppy. But I download the demo to my hard disk, then I used Norton 
(ver. 4.5) to write it to the floppy.
