Wow!  That's really old!  You need a monitor dated after April 1990
(earlier versions didn't use direct exception mode and, hence, will not
work with Minix) and a Minix dated from the middle of summer 1990,
preferably the end of August (fixes a memory allocation bug and a bug
in the code to determine the RAM size).

Send me an original Prentice-Hall Minix boot disk with the copyright
on it plus six bucks and I will send you my "official" pc532 Minix
distribution.  And, of course, I will return your boot disk.

By the way, my address has changed.  Here's my new address:

	Bruce Culbertson
	4250 El Caminio Real #D334
	Palo Alto, CA 94306
	U.S.A.

Cheers,
