has anyone managed to get minix working on an amstrad pc 1512 with hard disc? I've just picked one up (it was cheap..) and I'm wondering about buying a proper disc for it. I've tried the XT minix on a friend's system. It boot OK but can't get past block 33 on the hard disc. Does anyone know how to fix this? Could they post a new xt_wini.c? Thanks.. gary

I'm working on an armstrad pc 1512 with an OMTI under Minix 1.3.
I had the same problems first. The controller wasn't be able to get the right
information fom the disk. Try to give the wini-driver the parameters of your
drive directly.
