[comp.os.minix] Minix on 80286 or 386 machines

HELMER%SDNET.BITNET@vm1.nodak.edu (Guy Helmer) (12/09/88)

Is anyone working on changing Minix to use the features of the
386 or 286 chips?  I want to get a 386 machine soon, and I want
to be able to use Minix on it for things like TeX, GCC, and
other big (larger than 64k) stuff.  To do big things, I want to
either change or obtain changes to Minix to use the virtual memory
and task handling hardware on the 386.

Please send comments or responses to me.  I will post to the
net if asked to.
Thanks,
