I have a few questions to ask myself. I apologize if they are *too* trivial,
but I'm not familiar with PC's and answers to these questions will help.

1. I intend to but a clone *specifically* so I can use minix. I need one
   with 640K, 40M hard drive, and 1.2M floppy (AT compatable). 
   I'd appreciate any experiences, good OR bad.

2. Will I easily be able to use my hard disk for other applications ?
   Anything I should know about using/buying a hard drive ?

3. Does minix support the use of a EGA or RGB monitor ?

4. Is there telecommunications support ?? or can I download to DOS with
   a software package and transfer to minix ??


Thanks for your time and effort... please do respond.
Send e-mail directly to me, I will be sure to summarize (I'm sure others
have the same questions).
