Nothing survives a low-level format! (help *) KEITHE() PS - I got version 3.2 installed and it's OK so far (I miss my ethernet network connections). It wouldn't install on the first system I tried, an Intel 302 (25 MHZ 386 w/12 Meg RAM) probably because of the SCSI disk (600 Mbyte Imprimis). It's currently running on an Intel 301 (16 MHz, 2.5 Meg RAM) with an Adaptec RLL/Micropolis 1304 disk system. PPS - It wouldn't install on a Hauppauge '386 system, either (a '386 replacement motherboard in a Compaq Plus Portable (the "sewing machine" box)) with a generic MFM hard disk system. PPPS - I'll be glad to answer questions about 3.2, but I can't respond to "how does it compare to earlier versions?" because I don't _have_ any earlier versions... Neither do I have MINIX. (But I can compare it to my SYSVR3.2 and SYSVR4 systems.) PPPPS - This message has too many P[..]S's in it!
