Assuming that you don't already own a system capable of running Minix (as
indeed is my case) what would be a 'good' system configuration which would
allow one to enjoy using Minix?    

A complete system description for an Atari or IBM PC clone would be
welcome.  I am very uninitiated when it come to the Atari, but even for the
PC I haven't the foggiest what video adapter/ hard drive/ mouse/ etc. would
be called for.

Judging from some of the notes I've read here, there seems to be a great
deal of frustration involved to just get Minix to run on certain hardware
configurations, and (coward that I am) I'd like not to reinvent the wheel
just this once.

   Thanks for any suggestions ...
