I seem to remember that there is also a *complete* 1.3,
presumably with a different ISBN number.  I was considering
getting that (despite the cost), because I'd been under the
impression that my 1.1 wouldn't run on my AT.  Haven't done
much with Minix lately, so I tried to boot up my 1.1 and to
my surprise, it works except for the famous EGA display 
problem.  Still, if a complete 1.3 were available, and
especially if it had a working EGA driver and a working
printer driver (which it probably does), the extra money
is worth it, in view of the time the upgrade would take.
Is that an option, and if so, what is its ISBN number,
please?
