I asssume that the minix disks that I am using are standard 1.1 with out any bizarre changes. One odd problem that I am having is that any output to the screen will not be shown until I hit return enough times to get the last typed line to the top of the screen. Has anyone else had this problem? Finally, here is the hardware that I am working with: IBM-XT clone ==> Leading Edge D w/built-in Hercules card and one 360K floppy drive Seagate ST225 (20 meg) hard drive Western Digital WX2(?) hard disk controller card TeleMidas TM-24 modem (2400/1200/300bps) Commodore 1901 monochrome monitor If anyone has experienced interesting problems that are related to the above hardware, please let me know. thanks!
