This version dates 15 august 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 doesn't exist yet, except in a preliminary beta-test form.
The Atari ST version is not yet available.
A last note : send any additions or comments you may have to --
