[comp.os.minix] ST MINIX PROBLEMS

 Below is a list of the problems I have found with applying
 the recently posted MINIX upgrades.  I have a 4 meg ST1040,
 floppy, Syquest 5 meg removable winchester, and a 80 meg 
 CDC Wren II winchester utilizing a Supra interface.

 1. Use of the new stfloppy (with any/none  options) causes
    "Write failed code 22"  and  
    "Unrecoverable disk error on device 2/0, block n" 
    with any program that attempts to write to floppy, but all
    reads seem to be fine.  Replacing stfloppy with original
    seems to fix problems.

 2. Every attempt to run "~%xmodem -rb filename" or any xmodem
    attempt) under CU always causes a panic 
    (different panic messages given).

 3. Using TOS pgm to write to hard disk shows no errors, but when
    file is accessed under tos the corruption alert box is displayed.

 4. Compiling TOFILE yielded undefined for _fdopen & _strtol
