and it runs great.  This machine is 6/10Mhz switchable and runs fine
at either speed.  It has a 30Mb seagate hard disk on it with an AT
compatable controller.  The disk seems to work fine although I did have
one episode were the disk driver put out endless messages I couldn't
read.

I have successfully modified MINIX to run the root partition off the hard
disk.  As it turns out I used (basically) the same changes mensioned in
a previous posting.  However, I prefered to have a 0K ram disk and use
the extra 240K for processes.

I have partitioned the HD into four partitions.  Three are for the MINIX
boot, root and usr partitions.  I am still booting off floppies however.
