Hi!  I'm a teaching assistant for an operating systems class at UCLA which
will be using the Tannenbaum book and doing assignments with MINIX.  The
problem is that our hardware (apparently) won't work with MINIX versions
other than 1.2.  I personally haven't checked this, but I believe the only
other version they tried was 1.3.  Anyway, I'm looking for a list of known
bugs in MINIX 1.2 and the compiler associated with it.  If it would help, I can
find out what sort of PCs we're running on too.

I'd really appreciate any help anyone can give me.  I have under a week to try
to get MINIX literate and get the students set up.  (Though help after that
time will also be happily accepted).  We're also still trying to locate a copy
of MINIX 1.2, but hopefully, the professor will be able to get one from
Prentice-Hall.

Thank you!

Steve Whitney
