HI,
  I vote for simplicity, one set of library sources, more beer, less politics....

  I have studiously (or is that estudiously) gathered all the postings, and
just as carefully avoided putting in any! I would like to use estdio, it is
faster, and should continue to be supported in future Minix releases, more
than the standard libc.

  If someone sorts out this mess, I will use it.

  On another note, I would go for a group buy if the drive uses DC600 tapes.
It would be pretty easy to add tape support to my driver. I have been using
my SCSI driver (really a modified Bruce's) for a while now, no problems (fingers
crossed). I am trying to upgrade to 1.4 (the hybrid).

  Oh yeh, PC Minix 1.4 was a commands upgrade, with no kernel changes. This is
what we have substantially.

  And, I upgraded my fs to a larger cache size, if anyone out there has not,
it is essential. Compilation speed is now amazing. But, look how long a sync
takes :-)   Has anybody got advice on the relationship between the hash table
size and the cache size ?

Cheers, Des.
