All I have to do now is figure out how to make backups. :-) Anyone have a driver for an Archive 2150S streaming tape drive? I've got a question about Minix and the pc532... What form of distribution aree people working from? Do you get the latest pc Minix 1.5 and apply patches? Is someone distributing full pc532 Minix source (i doubt it)? How does one go about building Minix in the first place when there is no other OS for the target machine? Could somone give me a quick conceptual secription of what it takes to get the pc532 from a bare machine at the monitor prompt to building and running a multiprocess OS? Thanks a bunch. -Paul Nakada -- Paul Nakada | Oracle Corporation | pnakada@oracle.com
