Here is the latest and greatest (and my first) Minix compatibility list.  The
next one should be reformatted to include Minix Version 1.3 and Minix for
the Atari ST.  

Be sure to send any additions/corrections to me at one of the supplied
addresses.

-------------------------------- cut here -------------------------------------

               ====================================================
               M I N I X  P C  C O M P A T I B I L I T Y  S H E E T
               ====================================================
               This version dates                   19 January 1989
               ====================================================

SW = SoftWare, HD = HardDisk, yes = vanilla version runs, no = not yes,
fix = works with some fix(posted or not), hotboot = works if warm boot.
u = unknown ( yet ) [ do something about it, send the editor email ].

'*' in "editor choice of column" means that the respondent did not indicate
whether his/her information applied to 1.1 or 1.2, or that information got
lost and the editor inserted the information into the column he deemed most
appropiate.  It may be the wrong column however, so be warned.

Version 1.0 is the version in the book.  MINIX 1.1 is the oldest you may have
and the differences are minor.  V1.2 is available from Prentice-Hall.
V1.3 exists and should be available from Prentice-Hall in early March.

A last note : send any additions or comments you may have to --

ATTENTION:

Several people have been sending reports for the compatibility list to
Glen Overby (ncoverby@plains.NoDak.edu).  These reports should be coming
to me (allan@dhw68k.cts.com).  Please do send send them to Glen.  We
do appreciate the effort sent in making the reports, but he just forwards
the reports to me and it wastes his time.  Thanks.

Introduction
============

This is a list of machines that MINIX has reportedly run on.  An updated
version of this list will be posted when a sufficient number of entries 
have been added or changed or when requested.  In addition, updates to
this list should be posted to Usenet on a monthly basis.

Please send any reports of MINIX compatibility, comments, corrections,
etc. to:

Alan F. Perry, P.O. Box 27881, Santa Ana, CA 92799-7881  +1 714 241 7419
E-mail address: allan@esprit.UUCP

Please DO NOT submit reports to Glen Overby (ncoverby@plains.NoDak.edu).

PC MINIX
========
Version 1.0 is the version in Tanenbaum's book, "Operating Systems: Design
and Implementation".  Version 1.1 is the initially released version and 
the differences between it and 1.0 are minor.  Version 1.2 was released
next.  Version 1.3 is the currently available from Prentice-Hall.
Versions 1.4 and 1.5 exist, but are not yet available from Prentice-Hall.

Version 2.0 is in the planning stages and should be available late next
year.

Only compatibility with PC MINIX 1.3 and greater is now reported in this
list.

ST MINIX
========
Version 1.1 is the currently available version and is currently
available from Prentice-Hall.  I have heard about Version 1.2,
but I am not sure what state it is in.

I am looking for a volunteer more familiar with ST MINIX to take over
handling this area.

Explanation of List
===================

Each list is sorted in alphabetic order.  Each line is an entry that
represents a portion of a report received by the editor.  Each entry is a
report of how well a specific version of Minix worked on a specific
machine or other piece of hardware.  Each entry appears as a single line
in the following format:

------------------------- ---- - -------- -------- -------------------------
1111111111111111111111111 2223 4 55555555 66666666 7777777777777777777777777

where each field is defined as:

  1 - Hardware type.  The type of hardware on which MINIX was tested.
  2 - MINIX Version.  The version of MINIX tested on the hardware.
                      x.y indicates that the version is unknown.
  3 - Subversion.     The subversion of the above MINIX version. E.g., the
      subversion of 1.5.0 is 0.  If the subversion is not known, an 'x' will
      be found in the field.
  4 - Report Status.  This will be Y (Yes, MINIX worked on the version),
      N (No, MINIX did not work on this version) or P (Yes, MINIX worked
      on the version, but a patch was required).
  5 - Date of Report.  When the report was received.
  6 - Report Submitter.  This is a reference to the individual who
      submitted the report.  A list of submitters is included with the
      report.
  7 - Additional Comments.  Additional, useful comments added by the
      submitter.

There are two major sections at this time.  The first is PC MINIX 1.x and
the other is ST MINIX 1.x.  Other sections may be added as needed (e.g.,
an AMIGA MINIX or PC MINIX 2.x section).

At this time, within each section are two subsections.  The first is Basic
Operation (whether MINIX runs on the machine at all) and Optional Hardware
(whether it works with specific added hardware, such as Disk Controllers
and Video Cards).  Other subsections may be added as needed.
