I'm trying to install MINIX version 1.1 (or 1.2) onto my IBM PC/XT, but
I keep getting I/O errors.  (Something like put_block error......it seems
to be able to read, but not write.)  

I've tried the latest version of gn_wini.c, but it didn't work.  Actually,
I couldn't get it to compile -- errors like Ax, Bx, etc. undefined.
My PC has 2 floppies and a hardcard.  The hardcard is a 30MB drive made by 
MiniScribe (model 8425) with a Western Digital controller (model Wd1002-27X).

If anyone out there has suggestions or a new version of gn_wini.c, please
e-mail me the info.

thanks,
