   Here at Columbia we have version 1.4.2 running (in real mode only) on
   models 70 and 80.  By the end of this week, I hope we will have 1.5.0
   working on the 80, 
   . . . 
   So the brief answer
   is that it seems Minix runs pretty well on the PS/2.
[which might lead the uncritical reader to conclude that Minix out of
the box will boot and load the root file system, etc. on a PS/2.]

   As things progress, I will be in touch with ast about
   distributing the PS/2 version.

[but this indicates that the truth is obviously otherwise.  Caveate
Emptor.  At least there is a light at the end of the tunnel and all
the PS/2 users will owe a vote of thanks to those who made it all
work.]
