Well, I just wasted a bundle of money on MINIX 1.5 for my Amiga.  I read
the side of the box and got kinda excited that I could put a UNIX V7-like
OS on my Amiga.  Well, I sure can, but as it is stated in the two page
section on how to run it on an Amiga:

   MINIX supports most common peripherals, except a hard disk
                                                    ^^^^^^^^^

"Yikes!!!  I'm totally screwed!  What kind of ripoff is this!"  I thought.

Well, I have the source and I have a wee bit of time, but I don't feel like
trying to write Hard Disk drivers myself.  So, if either of you could
peruse through "comp.os.minix" (and maybe even post a request for info
on Hard Disk drivers for MINIX on the Amiga) I would really appreciate it.

I'd appreciate it even more if you actually passed any responses that might
occur along to me.

Anyway, if you have time and remember, please take a look at the news group
and post the request.

Thanks,

Jeff Makaiwi
