Can I partition it into two logical drives and run DOS in one and MINIX in the other? If so, practically speaking how much disk does MINIX require -- would a 10 MB partition be too small to be useful? A related question -- I am using a replacement mothernboard from Wavemate, Inc. It has an 80286 with XT slots and Wavemate's own BIOS -- has anyone had compatibiliity problems with their BIOS and Minix? Thanks, Larry -------
