I am strongly considering putting MINIX on my PC. I have a 10MB hard disk with a Maynard disk controller (uses the Western Digital controller chip set.) Is there a driver available for this controller? Also, what other hard disk drivers are available? (I may upgrade the disk system sometime soon.) (DOS compatability is not a problem since I would no longer use DOS if I brought up MINIX.) Since I will be using the system for (amongst other things) software development, would anyone care to comment on how good the compiler is? I understand that MINIX v1.2 is now available. Are there enough improvements in this new version to make it really worthwhile, or are previous versions almost as good? Tahnks in advance Martin Harriss ...!linus!alliant!harriss
