Is the memory size hard coded in minix? I have an AT clone (1Meg RAM) and only 360K drives so I bought the 640K PC disks which "can also be used with 512K, although the user will have to adjust some program sizes." However I get "Unexpected trap: vector < 16" when trying to read the root file system. Am I going to have to find another machine on which to rebuild the system or is my clone not compatible enough? Thanks in advance for any help. Mike Ching ...decwrl!amd!ching

I discovered the problem to be my hard disk controller. By removing it, I have a 512K RAM/360K floppy system with the 512K of RAM addressed at 0x100000 being ignored. Recompiling on such a cripped system is not very attractive. Any suggestions for a method of putting the RAM disk in upper memory without recompiling? Has anyone posted a way to read the clock in an AT? Anybody porting microEmacs to Minix? I just started reading this group. Thanks, Mike Ching !decwrl!amd!ching

I have the Intel Above Board, and I was wondering if anyone has modified the
memory management in Minix to take advantage of this extra megabyte of
memory that is sitting in my machine.
If so, I'd really like to see the patches/additional code necessary.
Also -- any ideas on paging??
