I have posted the following plea three (3) times so far, and this is the last time that I will ask this question. Would SOMEbody P L E A S E answer this time? THANK YOU... Has anybody tried to get MINIX (1.x) to work on the IBM PS/2 MODEL 30 computer? I don't want to waste $79.00 to find out that it doesn't work. My system has two (2) 720Kb 3.5" FDs, an external 360Kb 5.25" FD, and the new IBM MVGA monochrome monitor. Any information would be greatly appreciated. -- +----------------------------------------------+----------------------------+ |David W.

No matter how many thousands IBM may have sold, PS/2's are still a pretty rare bird. The intersection between PS/2-30 owners and minix hackers may still be tiny to non-existant. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {ihnp4|seismo|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@seismo.css.GOV Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)

David, One of the nice things about Minix, is that it is OK to borrow a copy from a friend.... Why don't you see if you can get someone to make 3.5" floppies for you and TRY IT?!?! Good Luck and let us know how it goes... John --- -- John D.
