[comp.os.minix] Minix for the Mac -- requirements and questions?

bjb@pyramid.pyramid.com (Bruce Beare) (12/25/89)

I'm really glad to hear that Minix will soon be out for the Mac. I have a
few questions...

I currently have an SE/30, 5MB ram. I assume that minix will run on such a
configuration (please correct me if I err). The questions concern disk space
and supported drives. 
	+ How much disk is required for the full distribution (source+obj)
	+ Does the above include swap
	+ Are SCSI drivers for non-apple drives supported?
	+ Are the drivers read from the drives boot-area?
	+ Are partitioning schemes supported?
	+ Are the Syquest 45MB disks supported? (How about the Ehman)??
	+ How about the soon to ship (I think) Syquest 80?

	+ Also, is appletalk supported?
	+ How about direct support for CAP w/o fastpath? (I know, I'm dreaming).

Thanks for any information that you can supply.
