I am still using an XT for minix.  I rented a hard-disk to do the 1.3 - 1.5.0
upgrades, after some initial work.  :-)

I would like to have "official" proto files for floppy disks, as I would be
backing up the system and preparing for the hard disk departure all at once,
while preserving time/date permission info.

I do have mkproto, and real soon now will have my own design of the proto
files, all else failing.  Any proto files I edit/create will be targeted to
upgrading/maintaining the system on 3.5" floppies.  Again, I don't want to
duplicate this work, and hope others have it handy.
