[comp.os.minix] Minix on Hard disk on 286

toms@oakhill.UUCP (Thomas Spohrer) (10/15/87)

	I am trying to run Minix on my IBM-PC but it has a WD hard disk
controller (WX2) and an Orchid TurboEGA card.  It seems to work fine with
the 8088 (@4.77Mhz) and the WD controller using the Minix XT hard disk driver.
However,  I have not been able to use the Hard disk while the Turbo card
is in 286 mode.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to what needs to change
so that I can take advantage of my 286's speed (8Mhz w/ 16 bit cache) while
still using the hard disk.  Everything else in Minix seems to work OK in
the 286 mode, just not my hard disk.

	Thanks in advance.
