   has anyone managed to get minix working on an amstrad pc 1512
   with hard disc? I've just picked one up (it was cheap..) and
   I'm wondering about buying a proper disc for it. I've tried
   the XT minix on a friend's system. It boot OK but can't get
   past block 33 on the hard disc. Does anyone know how to fix this?
   Could they post a new xt_wini.c?

   Thanks.. gary

I'm working on an armstrad pc 1512 with an OMTI under Minix 1.3. 
I had the same problems first. The controller wasn't be able to get the right
information fom the disk. Try to give the wini-driver the parameters of your
drive directly.
