Anyway, when I ordered it last week, as I mentioned yesterday, they said that they would be shipping it next week (should be right now, and I'm calling them as soon as they're open) because they were waiting for 3.2 to be out. 386 still not till end of year. 486 isn't really different from 386, just faster and more stuff on chip, but its mostly transparent (although with Intel, you never know). 3.2 sounded like it had some minor changes. Nothing significant. Bug fixes. I seem to recall a rewritten uucp. BTW, is all of the stuff that they sell in the utilities package available from piggy? Re: Someone mentioning why 3 ports on Minix: Yes, I know that there's 2 serial ports normally. But there are many COM3 & 4 boards, and also multi-port boards (for instance, I noticed that coherent supported at least 1 8 port board). Is it a device driver limitation, or some deep kernel limitation? -Rob -- "Suddenly the Earth Coincidence Control Office (ECCO) removed my penis and handed it to me ...
