Yes, I'm using my AT-bribo with MINIX in protected mode. Works fine. I didn't
test the demo disk, but remember that none of the JANUS functions will work
while you're running MINIX. Only the Display, keyboard an the LPT1 emulation
keep on working. 

I did have one strange problem... I wasn't able to boot MINIX when I was using
the on-board floppy controller. When I bought my HD/FD controller (WD clone
1:1 interleave) for the AT it worked fine and I have never had any problems
since.
