To what extent do the ST-Minix disk drivers support floppy and hard disk
direct memory access?  

For example, when you set up disk-intensive background processes, do
the characters still echo on the keyboard for your foreground process?

Does minix have BSD style job control?  (i.e. fg, bg, jobs, ^Z as suspend...)
---
In GENERAL terms (no diff listings, thanks), what routines besides the 
assembly :-) have been changed from the intel version?

Thanks for your help,

Plinio Barbeito
