I have been trying to ftp the upgrades from adelaide.edu.au but have found out
that I cannot as I do not have a permanent pathway. 

Therefore, could some kind soul either mail me the upgrades direct or tell me
where I could get them from by using fetchfile. 

By the way does this upgrade overcome the 640K limit on the ram set up by minix
1.3 & 1.1 to allow it to be used on an XT. Has any one tried developing a 
version of minix to run in virtual mode instead of real mode on a 80286/80386
family to use the larger memory accessability, special process features and
multitasking abilities inherent in this mode? 

This would probably require a rewrite of the compiler and assembler to some 
extent but has anybody ever given any thought to this!
