Minixers,

I just got Minix 1.5 from PH. I am having a few minor problems.

1. When I am in Elvis editing a file, out of the blue I get "Alarm Clock"
printed on the screen and the whole system locks up. I have to reboot to
recover. Anybody ever had or seen a similar problem?

2. Minix 1.5 does not support EDSI drives. Has anyone out there written a
driver for an EDSI HD or is anyone in the process of or interested in writing
an EDSI driver for Minix?

BTW, I am running 1.5 on an IBM clone.

Responses can be forwarded directly to me by email and I will summarize or you
can post it here.

Thanks in advance!
