You can't order it (yet).  I haven't sent it to P-H.  Nevertheless, the
MINIX 1.3 distribution has been tested on the PS/2 model 30, and works, so
I suspect that it will work on the model 25.  If you build the system by
applying the patches posted to 1.2, it should work.  It dynamically checks
to see if it is running on a PS/2, and if so, behaves accordingly.

So far nobody has reported trying it on Models 50 or higher (or lower,
for that matter).  If anyone has a PS/2 around, I'd be very interested in
finding out what happens when you try 1.3 on it.
