Hi,
Last nigth I dreamed that the v1.1 to v1.2 and the v1.2 to v1.3 diffs on
the NDSUVM1 server on BITNET could be used for both the ST and the PC
Minix 1.1. However, now I've waken up... I knew Minix is great, but is
it really *that* great? Well, let me know!

However, now I've waken up... I knew Minix is great, but is >it really *that* great? Well, let me know! No, the IBM diffs will not work on ST MINIX. However, this is not caused by an incompatability so much as the fact that ST MINIX is fairly close to IBM MINIX 1.3, making the patches pointless. If you're offering to make ST MINIX exactly like IBM MINIX 1.3, though, I'm sure that no one will object... -- Marc Unangst UUCP smart : mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us UUCP dumb : ...!uunet!sharkey!mudos!mju UUCP dumb alt.: ...!{ames,rutgers}!mailrus!clip!mudos!mju Internet : mju%mudos@cardiology.ummc.umich.edu

Hi,
after reading your article I thought: 'Why would he want to apply the
patches for bringing MINIX-PC up to V1.3 on MINIX-ST.' After all, every-
one here always says, that MINIX-ST V1.1 is, in fact, supposed to be
ALMOST MINIX-PC V1.3, so what really needs to be done is to bring MINIX-ST
up to V1.4 of MINIX-PC (which would then probably be V1.2 of MINIX-ST).
I thought MINIX was great, too. I still think so! I do have my problems
with it though. That's another article, however.

Oh I see, then there would be the senseless discussion of "whatever happened to V1.2 and 1.3 ??"
