In the FAQ, it said Minix worked on a Compaq 386. I have a 386s with a
Conner IDE drive. Has anyone gotten a 386s to work on Minix, or does the
Compaq 386 have the same hard drive as the 386s? Also, is there a
devicer-driver kit out for Minix, and if so, (generally) is it hard to
write drivers for hard drives? I have a Plus International Passport
removable drive, and would like to know if I can write a driver for it
(or hopefully one's already written!). Sorry if these questions have
been asked before...

I've made Minix 1.2, and 1.3 work on an Austin 386SX with an IDE drive (Imp I had to work around some problems, such as the fact that the INT41 (pointer to the hard drive parameters) pointed to an area that got overwritten by MINIX. I was told that those problems have been fixed in 1.5. Send me a message i need some help with it. -Scott
