It has been reported that the company that did the reproduction of the
Amiga disks managed to introduce an error on the boot disk :-(

Would everybody who has already received MINIX-Amiga please send me
a short message saying whether any read errors were encountered during
installation or on any disks.  If there were none, please send me a short
note just saying:  No errors on my copy of MINIX Amiga".  I'd like to
see how many copies were munged.  The funny thing is that the verification
copies the disk copier sent back were perfect.  No disk errors had been
reported for the IBM or Atari so far.  It may be that the idea of producing
720K industry standard disks for the Amiga completely freaked them out,
although the boot disk is 880K Amiga standard.
