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?
