Hello all.
	I'm finally going to attempt putting minix on my machine.  Ideally,
I'll come up with two things: a 1.1 working with my hard disk, and a protected
mode 1.3.  Maybe some fun with 1.5 later...
	Below is a description of my machine.  I'd appreciate information about
any pitfalls that may be associated with this hardware.
	I see in the "compatibility list" that someone with username comp13 has
a patch for some version of minix, with a WA3 hard disk controller.  comp13,
are you around?
	Anyway.  Here's my machine, in a nutshell:
- Suntac MB286-C (12.5MHz, AWARD Bios) motherboard
- WA3 hard disk controller
- Standard AT 20 Meg, type 13 hard drive (only one drive failure so far...)
- One 1.2 Meg floppy
- Adonics hercules card with parallel port
- 2 meg ram (slow disk, big disk cache...)

Many Thanks From:
