I am a, unfortunatly, sterotypically poor CS student. Hence I can not afford
the cost of a new copy of Minix for my Amiga. Does anyone out there have a copy 
they no longer need and could part with for, say, $50??? I used to use 1.5 on 
an IBM XT and fell in love with Minix and would love to continue on a machine
that I'm much happier using (Especially since some other kind soul did the 
dirty work of porting it... Thanks all!)

Thanks in advance,

I think that it's not quite rare. The mechanism you're proposing, helps
to easily reinstall drivers in a running system. When you do, a driver
can (and often will) be put in a different process slot. We should
cover this case.

Also, although I agree that it takes a lot of time to search for a name
in the process table, things might be not that bad if you use a binary
search method or a hash table. Furthermore, user processes can sendrec
only to/from the MM and FS (or a limited number of other server
processes), so one should have a very small number of processes to
check for when a user process sends a message.

Good idea. That keeps the speed (but adds parameters).

I have the port addresses and (I think) the commands and error codes, but

My first question is, are sockets supported in MINIX ?  My next question is
, can a driver be written for a networking card under MINIX and then have the
two cards be connected and operate as a LAN ?
     
Thanks in advance

Greetings -

I am the author of RaWrite, a utility that writes MS-DOS disk files
directly to floppy media.

RaWrite 1.2 supports all of the above PC-style diskette formats.  That
is, if your BIOS supports them.  Version 1.3 is undergoing beta test-
ing at the moment.

Regards,
Mark

Can someone please help me with details of an XT MFM hard disk controller?
I have the port addresses and (I think) the commands and error codes, but
I'm after a little more programming info. I've also got one reference, the
Minix XT driver code, but it's not very well documented.
     
So, anyone know anything about these beasts?
     
BTW: I know the hardware is obselete, but I gain 120 meg for "free" if I
can write a driver for it for Linux, and what's more, the card coexists
quite happily with my IDE and SCSI drives!
