I have a PS/2 50Z and I hesitate to order minix until I hear that it will
run on my machine.  I have been watching this list for quite a while and all
that I have heard is that people have had to patch numerous places to make
it run on any PS.  I saw a recent posting from ast who was requesting info
about people who are running Minix on a PS/2.  Is 1.5.3 or whatever P-H is
releasing next going to run on PS/2's?  Or has Minix always run on them?
I am quite excited to get my own Minix and run it but I don't yet have the
skill to patch it for my machine.  Any positive news would be nice to hear.
