[comp.os.minix] Looking for Minix 1.2 for AT Clone

Friendly netlandians:

Back When I sent my money off to P-H for a bona fide set of Minix 1.1
disks for the XT clone I then owned.  I also started keeping an archive
of *some* of the comp.os.minix articles (the ones that seemed to be
pertinent to the configuration I then had).  I had 1.1 running, though
I never did manage to get the hard disk going on my Z-158 w/ ST-238,
Adaptec 2070a.

Then I dropped out of the Minix scene for a while.  Now I have a new
machine (Club 286-10 w/ Toshiba 72MB hd), and I'd like to get going
again with Minix.

Meanwhile 1.2 is out there in the world and going strong.  People all
over the lot have AT clones with hard disks running it, I'm sure.

Since the distribution policy for Minix is what it is, I don't think
it would bend anyone's principles for me to seek a kind soul who'd
be willing to send me a set of AT disks.  I'd naturally provide (or
replace) the disks themselves, and I'd be quite willing to cover other
out-of-pockets plus something for your time.  But I'm not keen on
putting another $80 (plus tax, apparently!) plus god knows how much
time into P-H's pockets.

If you can help me out, please send e-mail to the address below (the
internet form seems to work best) so we can complete arrangements.
