Thanks in advance. +--------------- Minix disks have the same low-level format as DOS and UNIX disks. I've transferred "tar" disks between Minix and Altos machines (only ones I have access to) with no problems, they read just like any other disks. If you need to access Minix "mount" disks, try porting "readfs" from 1.2+ to Microport. ++Brandon (P.S. They go both directions, e.g. a tar disk made on the Altos reads under Minix, and a tar disk made under Minix reads on the Altos.) -- Brandon S.
