I am trying to update my minix 1.2 to 1.4a, because I want to use 1.44M floppies on a Olivetti M280. I encountered two problems: 1) clustersize problem Dosread and doswrite have a constant called maxclustersize, and the value is 2K. My hard disk has a clustersize of 4K, so I tried to change this constant, but I got a lot of errors I didn't understand. Next thing I tried was to change the clustersize of my hard disk, but this isn't so straightforward as I expected. But there is a program called V-feature of Bow Systems that does the thing and it costs about $75. My question: is there a simple solution for the problem and is there anyone how has any experience with the program V-feature? 2) Error: bad word size I probably mixed up two different versions of cc, because now I get the above error every time I try to compile a c program (even an empty program). There are no line numbers given and I don't really understand the error. Does anyone know what this error means and what I can do about it?
