[comp.os.minix] Minix ST 1.5.10 questions ....

 A few assorted minix (ST 1.5.10) questions .....

 1. Does anyone have gcc working under 1.5.10 kernel and if so where
can I get it ?
 2. There was supposed to be a new st floppy disk driver which did
away with /dev/dd? and /dev/fd? by sensing the kind of disk present , what
happened to this ? It wouldn't be too tricky to add an ioctl call to
dynamically alter the type of disk but I don't want to reinvent the
wheel , I would imagine that auto sensing a raw tar would be
problematical anyway .
 3. Was the bash source/diffs ever put anywhere ?

 I take it that O_NONBLOCK mode blocking for tty's is a bug , the
fix is very simple I will post the fix if anyone wants it (no idea if it
works  for PC's though).
