I finally received my copy of the Minix sources. It took no time at all
to find the first bug. The printer driver doesn't work with my printer
(Epson FX-80 on a Compaq). I just looked up the patches, and I will try
to rebuild the printer process.
I have two questions:
1) Can the printer task be rebuilt & installed without having to rebuild
the whole system? If so, how?
2) Whatever happened to the reported new version of asld that supports split
I/D segments? If I have to rebuild Minix, I don't want a bigger, slower
system.
Also, I am considering buying a hard disk card. Anyone who has used Minix
with a hard disk card, please send me a report of your experiences. I will
summarize to the net.
