Lines: 35 I an attempting to bring up Bruce Evans' protected mode Minix. I have run into two snags. 1) When I try to compile the kernel with the Bruce's TTY driver I get an undefined tag '_rs232' and it refuses to asld. 2) My printer (an Epson FX86e) seems to be dropping bunches of characters. Neither of these problems occurs when I am working with vanilla 1.3, and problem 1 does not occur with the stock tty driver as modified by the "non-'B-'" patch files. All the CRC's came out right, so I am not working with munged files. What is missing?
