How about browsing or searching the archive sites? Sometimes you have to take the initiative yourself; Minix (or anything you get off the net, for that matter) is not your shrink-wrapped software from Big, Inc with a patient telephone support staff! Since there have been SOO MANY questions about this lately, I'll post an answer. [from the FAQ post on May 1 ] 9. IS THERE A SCSI DRIVER FOR MINIX? All SCSI controlers work differently, from the primitive Seagate ST01, to the smarter Always IN-2000, and Adaptec with it's own on-board CPU. Magnus Doell has released his driver for the ST-02, and there is another one for an Adaptec controler. The ROM wini driver should also run most SCSI controlers but you loose protected mode capability. (didn't think that thing was worth reading, did you? :-) Bits via FTP: ftp to plains.nodak.edu. Prefix all names below with "pub/", except for "NEW" which is unavailable to FTPers (it's a soft link to a different disk partition). Bits via Mail: mail your request to archive-server@plains.nodak.edu and use get pathname/filename If your machine is on uucp but not listed in the maps, you have to use a "path" command from Plains to get back to you (I'm suprised at how many of these sites there are out there who still try using the server). You may also want to uuencode the files; ask the server for "help".
