- Various minix questions not covered in the FAQ I read...
- (my set up btw, minix on amiga '000 computer, gvp harddrive
- and two floppy drives)
-
- (1) why is the disk so flakey? my drive 2 which is internal (df1:)
- on my A2000 refuses to accept minix disks (or rather minix refuses
- to play along with it)
-
- (2) has there been any device driver written for amiga disks that
- uses amiga standard tracks rather than the ibm mfm format? (I would
- imagine such devices would be faster and more reliable on amiga
- drives, and have slightly better capacity. But disk compatibility
- would be lost)
-
- (3) Which hard drives are currently supported, including any
- available via ftp on internet.
-
- (4) has there been any work done on MMU support or other (better than
- '000 can support) features?
-
- (5) Where are all the diff's at, where are minix binaries at? where
- is the manual page set at? Is there a nice organized ftp list
- concerning minix that details what programs and which type of programs
- are available?
-
- (6) Any question i didnt ask but meant to...
-
- thanks for your replies (go ahead post em, I'm sure others would
- benefit from some answers...
- ....
