	I'm concidering purchasing minix for a PC AT, and I have a few
	questions which I hope someone on the net can help me with.

	1 which version of minix is shipped from Prentice Hall ?
	2 my PC has a SCSI disk interface, will this be a problem ?
	3 I have a 49 Mb disk partitioned into 32 and 15. My idea was to
	  have MINIX in the last partition. Is this possible ?
	4 are there any associations or user groups where I may get help
	  from, preferably in Denmark.
	5 are there any archives, again preferably in Denmark. No ftp 
	  available from where I am.
	6 Can I get minix directly from Prentice Hall ? I have some bad
	  experinces (takes too long) with getting things from bookstores.

	Concerning 2, 3 I have read some of the postings concerning large
	discs and I recon that there probaly will be some problems.

	I read the comp.os.minix group regulary, but response by E-mail is
	also welcome.
