Someone I know is trying to run Minix on a Toshiba laptop (T1000SE). This machine has expanded memory (apparently available via some port). Has anyone had any experience running Minix on such a machine? Has anyone had any experience using the expanded memory (not extended) as a ram disk on such a machine?

I have successfully run Minix 1.5.0 on a Toshiba T1200HD (8086 processor). To access expanded memory as a ram disk I believe one has to use a driver. There is one some where in the archives for Minix 1.3. If you want to I probably can dig that out. I have not, however tried to use the Harddisk yet. It is a RLL type. I want to wait for 1.5.10 to arrive. If you have any success messages I would be glad to hear about them. Hope this helps, =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - Hein Paul Osenberg - = Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Medical Informatics = - University of Zuerich and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology - = Moussonstrasse 18, CH 8044 Zuerich, Switzerland = - EARN (BITNET) : IBTTEO01@CZHETH1I PHONE : +41 1 256-4563 - =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
