[comp.os.minix] hard drive controllers...

craig.mclaughlin@cccmvs.UUCP (07/18/90)

  I'm currently using a 20M MFM hard drive on an XT clone.  I'm thinking
of getting a new drive, a 66M (oodles of space!!).  It uses an RLL-type
controller.

  Does anyone know if this will cause any difficulties with MINIX?  And
one more question:  Is there a limit to a filesystem size in MINIX?
In other words, does MINIX have any limitation similar to the stupid DOS
one of 32M hard drive partitions?

  ...yes, I know that DOS 4.0 breaks that barrier.  But I don't want it,
I want MINIX.

  Reply to the address below...I'll post a summary if anyone else is
interested...
