For the keeper of the compatiblity list. Minix 1.5.10 runs on...

1. MicroByte PC-230 (V-30 cpu)

   Minix 1.5.10 runs on a pc230 using bios_wini.c. The serial line etc all
   work fine.

   - The only `funny' is with monocrome displays. In that case you need to
     configure the pc230, using the program `pc230.exe', to be in monocrome
     EGA mode (not Mono Hercules). MicroByte pointed this out to me.
   - The bios wini is needed because it uses a SCSI hard disk. I've got a
     MINIX 1.3 SCSI driver for the PC-230 but I've yet to update it for 1.5

2. MicroByte PC-230sx (386sx cpu)

   Minix 1.5.10 runs on this machine, again using bios_wini.c.

   (For this machine (new) I only had the chance to see if MINIX would boot)
