I am trying to get Minix running on my hard disk drive.
It seems to run fine with floppies, but its a pain with only
one floppy drive.  I am using a Seagate st-251 (42 meg,
6 heads, 820 cylinders) and a western digital WD1002A
WX1 controller.  The copy of xt_wini.c that I have seems
to be for the WX2 controller,and I'm not sure what the differences
are, ore where I should modify the code.

I also get an out of paper error when I try to print anything,
I assume something else has to be modified to correct this.
Any and all help would be appreciated by myself and several
friends who are trying to get Minix going.
