My Conner drive runs fine with the bios version of PH Minix and I have
installed Minix on partitions 3 and 4. I can mount and use both.
However, when I boot the AT version of minix, it does not read the
date from the real-time clock and the very first (implicit) reference to
the hard disk in any context kills the system. I have verified that the
wini init routine gets the correct hard disk parameters (16 heads, 38
sectors per track), but I haven't a clue at this moment as to what's
killing the system. I have received mail indicating that some patches
were needed to make Minix work with Conner drives, but I haven't been
able to find them. Any help in getting my AT version to work would be
greatly appreciated.
