I am trying to bring up MINIX on an HP Vectra. I need a little help doing so. If you know how to do it or have any sugestions I would like to hear from you. I am stalled at the point of how to handle HPHIL interrupts....

It's probably not worth the effort. Later Vectras are truly compatible; early ones had some HP-HIL brain-damage which made it impossible to run other than DOS (SCO had to do a special version of XENIX for it). Sell the Vectra to a DOS-only user, and then buy a clone. Not only will you get a true compatible, but you'll be several hundred dollars ahead, to boot.
