Possibly this is a dumb question, but:
I was looking at the order form for MINIX sources and binaries
and noticed that ATs are listed differently from XTs. Are the
two interchangable (other than disk densities, etc.) ? I have
an XT at present, but plan to get an AT board when prices come
down a bit more, and I don't want to get stuck... If I get the
XT 640K version, will I encounter pain & suffering if I try to
set it up on an AT later ?

Are the > two interchangable (other than disk densities, etc.) ? I think the difference is in the type of diskette (if you order diskettes) you receive. The sources, as I understand it, are available on 1.2MB AT-style disks as well as the 360KB PC/XT-style disks. Of course, you can also order them on mag-tapes. ...
