	Over the past couple of months, there's been two topics of 
particular interest, but no definitive answers on.

1- That program [I think called Virtual Terminal] that allows one to
use Minix in color [if having a color monitor of course] & certain other
things. The big question is: from Where can one obtain it?? which site
has it ?

2- The debate over workable hard-drives. Minix apparently works fine on
MFM, but other types seem to require things like patching & recompiling
the OS.... well, if I cannot install it, how can I patch & re-compile it.
Basically, which drives are good & will work with Minix? I think someone
had once said IDE drives work, except older ones have trouble. What's the
word, MINIXers? I haven't any problem altering wini.c, but the drive to
re-compile on would  be a problem. 
Which drives work? 

Thanks
