Could you make diffs/sources for the floppy driver changes ONLY availible? I would really like to have reliable floppy access, but because there are no sources included with latest_aminix.lzh and because of either 020/hard disk icomptatibility with my system, I can't use the supplied minix.img. I realize the hard disk driver is still in beta, but the floppy changes are "done", right? At the very least, floppy reliability can't get any WORSE than it is now [1/2 :-)] ------///------------------------------------------------------------ /// Tyler "Ty" Sarna E-Mail: tsarna@polar.bowdoin.edu \\\/// "So you see, the overhead gets underfoot..." --\XX/---------------------------------------------------------------
