I am trying to get MINIX running on a OLIVETTI M19 (once the diskettes become
available here in Europe), but after the few comments and fixes that got
posted about the M24 I am expecting troubles. Since my M19 only has one drive
(the space for the other one is used up by the hard disk) I am probably going
to have problems to get the hard disk running even if the system correctly
boots up on floppies...
However, if there was a C cross compiler and a cross linker compatible with
MINIX, but running under DOS / MSDOS, and a file transfer utility for MINIX
disks it would be possible to port MINIX to any odd IBM clone without the
need to get yourself a true compatible clone to do the cross compilations.
Is there anybody out there using such tools? Any comments? Any suggestions?
