I'm going to buy minix and the book as soon as I can scrape together the
$$ (not easy for a college student), but in the meantime, I'd like to get
a couple of questions answered if I could...

1)	Is minix a full blown UNIX-alike?  ie. multitaksing *and* multi-
	user?

2)	Can it use AT extended memory?

3)	How UNIX-like is it?  What ommissions or extensions?

4)	How much is the book supposed to cost?  I've seen a $24.95 price
	and a $36.something price.

5)	Does it work on an ATI ATTAK AT clone board?

6)	What is an easy way to put minix and DOS on one AT?  I'd like
	to put DOS on one hard-disk and minix on another, but I can't
	think of an easy way (one that doesn't involve moving drive
	cables) to switch between active drives.

Thanks for any info,
Tad
