[comp.os.minix] Amiga Minix Harddrive support

JAGBDED1%PANAM.BITNET@ricevm1.rice.edu (09/15/90)

   Hello netters,
   Does anyone have any information on why Minix for the Amiga lacks hard-
drive support?  It shouldn't have been terribly difficult to add. I suppose
that I'll find out when it arrives at my door (4-6 weeks from now according
to P-H :-(  ). If anyone can give me some info, I'll try to get started on
the problem. Thanks!

The guys who did the port didn't have a hard disk to test it on.  That's all.
Technically, it is not that much different than the IBM or Atari versions.
As soon as anyone writes on, please post it.
