Amiga Minix does support hard disks and 680x0 processors (not the Prentice Hall 1.5.10
version, though) and it works great!

The 720K drive size is for compatibility reasons. 

Talk to Steve Reiz. I have been beta testing a version of Amiga Minix with all these features. 
I have an A2500/30 with 100MB of hard disk dedicated to Minix. Minix boots directly off 
the hard drive from AmigaDOS.

(sorry for spilling the beans Steve, I just can't bear to see people bashing Amiga Minix)
