Catch 22. I have Minix 1.2 but it doesn't work with my 10Meg ST213 disks.
I only have 1 floppy drive. Neither at_wini nor xt_wini work with my HD.
bios_wini seemed to need alot of stuff from Minix 1.3 (which I don't have).
(For a short time I had a 2nd floppy to test some stuff, now I don't).

So, I can't seem to go anywhere. :-(
