I port the MINIX on the AT (remove /dev/ram, etc...), everything work A.OK. Now, I just need to insert the boot floppy disk, after I run on /dev/hd2 and /dev/hd1. My next step would be to add a driver on the serial line, is somebody already did that?. My "after next step" (I mean: my dream) would be to have minix working in protected mode, I don't feal that as obvious, did somebody succed in such (:-} ) "ENTERPRISE"? JMP (Jean-Marc Pigeon)

I am, in fact, working on a complete rewrite of the TTY driver which will include serial line support. When I'm done, I'll post two versions: one that's plug-compatible with the existing driver, and one that has expanded capabilities but which will require other changes to the kernel and filesystem in order to support the expanded capabilities (e.g. more complicated ioctl's, etc. The current ioctl structure makes it impossible to specify, say, baud rates). I would've had it done sooner, but I got sidetracked in trying to port MicroGnuEmacs (which I'll also post when I'm done). Maybe I'll have the tty driver done in time to post it as a Christmas present... +----------------+ Jim Paradis linus--+ +--+-------------+ | Encore Computer Corp. necntc--| | | E N C O R E | | 257 Cedar Hill St. ihnp4--+-encore!paradis | +-------------+--+ Marlboro MA 01752 decvax--| +----------------+ (617) 460-0500 talcott--+ But if we took the bones out it wouldn't be crunchy, now would it?
