After more than 10 hours I have collected all the 1.5.0 usenet postings, verified the crc's and then uudecoded them. I believe I have a complete set as of January 4, 1990 which was the date I received #73. These now reside on 2 1.2 meg minix file system diskettes. I will ship copies of these to interested parties for $10 US which includes postage for those in the United States. I don't know costs yet to points beyond. These diskettes contain only the files that Dr Tanenbaum posted to usenet and indicated were part of the 1.5.0 distribution. They do not contain any of the Copyrighted works sold by Prentice Hall. In order for you to make use of these diskettes you must have a working minix 1.3 with at least a 1.2 meg drive. I can't imagine trying to update without a Hard disk so I will require that as well. If demand is high for 360k version I could make that available as well but since there would be 6 diskettes I would have to charge $20.00 US to cover the additional costs. If you have any further questions send email. If this works out I would be willing to make other Freely Sharable sources available to the minix communitity via diskette. -- Doug Ingraham (SysAdmin) Lofty Pursuits (Public Access for Rapid City SD USA) uunet!loft386!dpi
