Here is the latest list of compatibility reports, scrounged up from whatever unsavory sources I could buttonhole. Corrections and additions go to me and ast. Available on bugs.nosc.mil in directory pub/Minix by off-hours anonymous FTP: the latest compatibility list in "compatibility", a list of subject lines from all archived articles in "SUBJECTS", and archived articles of nonzero substance in files named by Message-ID, e.g. "1011@ark.cs.vu.nl" . It looks like we're getting lots of Hard Disk fixes. It would be nice if those reporting Failures for Hard Disks, retest their stuff with the posted fixes. While I'm wishing, it would be nice if we knew how to test at boot time for hard disk controller type. This would allow consolidation of all our "fixed" code for a global re-release of xt_wini.c etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computer info source MINIX runs?
