I have been trying to ftp the upgrades from adelaide.edu.au but have found out that I cannot as I do not have a permanent pathway. Therefore, could some kind soul either mail me the upgrades direct or tell me where I could get them from by using fetchfile. By the way does this upgrade overcome the 640K limit on the ram set up by minix 1.3 & 1.1 to allow it to be used on an XT. Has any one tried developing a version of minix to run in virtual mode instead of real mode on a 80286/80386 family to use the larger memory accessability, special process features and multitasking abilities inherent in this mode? This would probably require a rewrite of the compiler and assembler to some extent but has anybody ever given any thought to this! ARTHUR
