People, Today someone asked me why ST-1.1 did not work on his Mega-2 with MegaFile-30. It just did not access the hard disk... He tried recompiling the kernel with "debug" on, and this seemed to work better: about 9% of the returned blocks are the correct ones ... My question to you: what is wrong here? It seems to be a timing problem, since the (delaying) debug-code causes it to behave better than without it... On another matter: the 1040-ST. A very friendly guy gave his old 1040, since he sold his other 1040, in order to buy an AT. The one I got was working OK, but I needed to fix it a bit... The missing parts are: 1. The 6301-chip in the keyboard . 2. The two big square chips in the Main Board; I believe these are called "Memory Controller" and "Glue" resp. 3. The Power Supply. This shouldn't be a problen; I can hook up any decent power supply to it, I guess... Does someone have a box of Spare Parts with these items in it? In that case, I am interested... Being the founder of NLMUG, I thought I should learn more about ST-MINIX, since I only know how to hack MINIX-PC at the moment...
