It's difficult to tell exactly what the system is from the system.
However, my system here is a Jameco mini-AT motherboard, with the
'm working from memory, it may be ST250) 40 MB
hard drive, 1 meg of memory, 360K and 1.2 Meg floppies, and the
jameco video board driving a color monitor.  Minix 1.2, 1.3 and now
1.4a all work very well. For awhile, I was driven up the wall with
"illegal interrupts" but that turned out to be caused by an error
in the floppy driver.  Once that was fixed, it has been peachy keen
ever since.

One thing, however.  A friend and I both got these systems at the
same time (it was $695 for the basic kit, and I had to add some other
stuff, but still less than $1500 for a super system).  Both of us had
problems with the mother board, and w^Ound up returning them.  Jameco
replaced them, and said they had problems with that batch of boards.
