My System:
 IBM PS/2 50Z - 286, 30MEG HD, 1-3.5 1.44MB DRIVE. 
PROBLEM
   A local software store sells MINIX1.5 for $118. Unfortunately, I do
not have a 5.25 drive, and they sell ONLY the 5.25 version. Direct order
of the 3.5's from PH is $169 (and would take 2.5 weeks). I would much rather
not wait, and not pay so much. So, what I need to know is this:

  If I buy MINIX on 5.25's, and copy it to 3.5's (on a friends PC), will it
still work for me?
thanx for your time
