Hello!
I have recently got a copy of A.T.'s book on MINIX and am now keen to get
a copy of MINIX itself.
Before I buy, I have few questions which I hope some of you MINIX-gurus
may be able answer:
1. What Version of MINIX should I buy and where?
I have a '386 pc, motherboard "100% IBM compatible",
1 x 83MByte harddisk Seagate SCSI with ST-02 Host Adaptor,
1 x 1.2MByte 5.24" Floppy.
2. Will MINIX work with my harddisk? (Seagate 1094N SCSI + ST-02 Adaptor)
Will I have to write my own?
Could I then build a bootable version of MINIX (with my own driver)
on a floppy (1.2M) or would I have to buy, beg, borrow or steal a
"standard" harddisk to write a SCSI driver?
3. Where can I get more information about what is available in the MINIX
archives and how to access them?
I'd be grateful for all replies and look forward to "joining the MINIX-club".
