For other ones, you will have to modify the driver. Unless I am mistaken, all new ATs run at 8MHz. Does this mean that MINIX is not compatable with the new ATs ?? or is the driver that easy to modify. Since I haven't gotten the software yet, can anyone tell me how hard it is to modify the driver ?? PS: I don't *really* have a new AT, but my clone operates ~10MHz.
