Hello peoples...

My father is getting an 80386 AT-compatible with an 80Meg hard drive Any
Day Now. And, of course, I am appropriating 60 Megs of the hard drive so's
I can run Minix. And, at work we've got a NSC32016-based machine that's
on its way here. As it has no real purpose in life, I am going to
appropriate it to run Minix. Now, I've got Minix 1.1, and I've only got ONE
hard disk driver; where it says I should have at_wini.c and xt_wini.c I've
just got wini.c; I assume it is the XT version because it manages to read
an XT's hard drive. So: could some kind soul send me at_wini.c?

And: how much different is Minix 1.2 from 1.1? Would it be easier to get
diffs, or the whole thing?

And, I understand there's been a NSC320xx port of Minix. Where can I get
it? How much will it cost, if anything?

And, how much work has anybody done in getting Minix to run on the 80386?
I don't mean just run like and 8086/8, I mean like adding virtual memory,
and such. Has anybody ported GCC to the 386 and gotten it to run under
Minix? Would anybody like GCC ported to the 386 if nobody's done it?

Has anybody seen my keys?
