[comp.os.minix] mice and mixed floppies

Two questions.  Has anyone developed a minix driver for the logitech bus
mouse?  Secondly, is there a known problem related to having a 1.2 Mb and
360 kb floppy configuration on an XT (using a special controller card). I
find that I cannot get minix to use both floppies, although I can boot it
from either (by swapping cables).  No matter which drive is DOS A: or minix
/dev/fd0, the other one gives bad block errors reading good disks. Any
ideas what's happening here and why?

I recently bought an IBM PS/2 model 50Z and I heard about
MINIX system. I went through the mail in this group in order
to find any info how to get the system for my machine. I
believe that there are some problems with working MINIX
on model 50 but since I want to work in  a UNIX environment
on my machine, I would like to ask anyone who can give
me more info to do it as soon as possible.
-Thanks,               Lefteris.....
