[comp.os.minix] Laptop Minix?

Does anyone know if Prentice-Hall Minix 1.5 will run on something like
a Toshiba T1000LE laptop (9.54 MHz 8086, 20MB hard disk, 1.44MB
floppy)?  That would be heaven -- a laptop Unix-like box.  There used
to be a compatibility list posted every once in a while, but I can't
find it.

Also, is Minix available on 3.5 inch disks?

I've had Minix up and running on my Toshiba 3100 portable with very few
problems.  My machine is a 286 with 640k and a 10Mb hard drive.  The only
reason I took it off was the lack of HD space for the DOS apps. that I really
need.  If I had a bigger faster HD I'd put it back on.
