broman@schroeder.nosc.mil (Vincent Broman) (11/30/88)
Here is the compendium culled from UseNet postings and Email
describing compatibility of Minix with various people's hardware.
ST Minix is barely touched on. V1.3 for the 8088 is not represented.
I don't expect to maintain this list anymore, though it will
still be present on bugs.nosc.mil as always. If someone else
wants to maintain it, I will archive their work.
If you think this info represents a guarantee of anything,
you've got the *wrong* newsgroup!

====================================================
This version dates 29 november 1988
====================================================
SW = SoftWare, HD = HardDisk, yes = vanilla version runs, no = not yes,
fix = works with some fix(posted or not), hotboot = works if warm boot.
u = unknown ( yet ) [ do something about it, send the editor email ].
'*' in "editor choice of column" means that the respondent did not indicate
whether his/her information applied to 1.1 or 1.2, or that information got
lost and the editor inserted the information into the column he deemed most
appropiate. It may be the wrong column however, so be warned.
Version 1.0 is the version in the book. MINIX 1.1 is the oldest you may have
and the differences are minor. V1.2 is available from Prentice-Hall.
V1.3 exists, but not yet available from Prentice-Hall.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Where is this code. I've been reading the net for only a few
months, but I checked bugs.nosc.mil and could find no such animal. Am
I an idiot or what!?
If somebody out there has it and can email it to me I would appreciate
it greatly. (Or just let me know what file to get from the archive.)
Thanks in advance.
