[comp.os.minix] 386 support, video model

squibby@eleazar.dartmouth.edu (Clark L. Breyman) (02/27/90)

Folks,
	I am about to jump into Minix and have some questions on the platforms
it can run on.

	1)Does Minix or any add-on support more than a tty interface (i.e.
		Gem AES or VDI)?
	2)Do patches/rewrites exist implementing i286 or i386 processor based
		task-switching/memory management/paged virtual memory?
	3)Do all versions of PC minix use an 8086 memory model or do they
		use a contiguous 32bit space?

Yes, I'm going to get the book, but I hope to wait just a little longer.

Thanks,
	Clark
