Hi,

	I planned to put the Minix 1.3 into Protected mode, but I got
some problems. I wonder whether 286 real mode interrupt routines can be
used in 286 protected mode. The CPU reserves IDT gate 8 and 9 for
internal exceptions. But where are the timer interrupt gate and keyboard
interrupt gate?

   	I think maybe I misunderstood the architecture of protected mode
(I hope so). Is there any one who can tell me the differences of IDT 
table between real mode and protected mode? I already knew the structures
of these two modes, but I am naive about the usage. Any help will be
much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

	Or any reference books will be much appreciated.
