[comp.os.minix] ST 1.5 patch 1 ?

Hi!

About two weeks ago I mailed out patch 1 to ST 1.5, which contained 
an update of the wini driver. However, I did not get a single reaction
on it. Does this mean that the posting didn't make it to the net, 
should I take this as a "not interested" sign, or were there no problems
with the update. 

The latter seems curious to me, since some time after upgrading with patch 1,
adding a second drive, and replacing my broken ST, the system sometimes
comes with inconsistencies in the file system, which I cannot explain.
Has someone else encountered problems with the patch and/or with two
drives. To me it looks like sometime some bits in the bitmap are
toggled by accident, but I cannot reproduce the problem. It just happens
every once in a while. At first I thought the bad disk was caused by a
crash, but by now it has happened 3 or 4 times, and I'm not so sure any
more about that explanation. Anyone a suggestion??

Also I'm interested to get feedback from people with old SUPRA
controllers, on how the new stwini works with their system.

Thanks,
