I was wondering about the differences between the PS2 Model 30 286 and the AT. The 30-286 is based on the AT bus so, would most of the MINIX code that is available at the time work for the 30-286? (Except the 3.5" driver that would be needed for the 30-286.) Or, are there some other differences? I would appreiciate any information in this area that anyone can give me -- I've just purchased a 30-286 and would like to do my semester work on MINIX at home. Has anyone tried MINIX on the 30-286? Thanks, Patrick McCormick mcormick@unm-la.LANL.GOV lanl!unm-la!mcormick@uunet.uu.net -- or -- uunet.UU.NET!unm-la!mcormick@cs.utexas.edu

Minix V1.3d works on the IBM PS/2 Model 30-286 with a single fix. I am using gn_wini, but bios_wini should work. The only change I had to make was to increase VECTOR_BYTES to 1024 in kernel/const.h. Note that the 3.5 inch floppy is supported at 720K by Minix V1.3d. I posted the cdiffs for 1.44MB support.
