One of my students has ported MINIX to the PS/2.  The biggest remaining
problem seems to be the hard disk driver, which is different on all
models of the PS/2.  That is why I wrote the BIOS driver.  If there are
people who want to be guinea pigs for the PS/2 version, let me know. It
is finished now and available for testing.
