We have a beta version of MINIX-SPARC ready, and are looking for some (not tens) of beta testers. A SparcStation 1 with floppy disk drive, winchester and means to use partitions of the winchester for MINIX is required. Tests on IPC and SLC are solicited, although the SLC will give problems since it has no floppy. Obviously, a working bidirectional email connection is essential. The beta test should be thorough but reasonably fast. Please send a short description of your situation: machines at hand, experience with MINIX, time to spend, motives, ... to me or my colleague: Adrie Koolen email: adrie@ica.philips.nl Hopefully this leads to a small group of MINIX-SPARC beta testers that can help to prepare future releases and extensions.
