I use 

	ln /dev/fd0 /dev/dosA

This links the drive, then

dosread -a A filename 

To simply read the file to screen, or

dosread -a A filemane > /any directory/filename

to copy the file to a minix directory.

nb the -a means that your reading an ascii format file.

Hi Minixer's and Minix-386er's all out there,

I have heard about patches for paping under Minix-386 done by Philip Homburg. 
Do this patches really exist? How far are they gone? Where can I get them?
Can someone please mail me or post more details about this.

Normally every Minix-386 user should be insterested or already using them.

And there are also the patches for swapping(and more features) done by Michael
Convey, which are still in beta testing. He send me the patches as a beta
tester. I will try to get them running under Minix-386. Are there other 
Minix-386 users trying the same?

Is there an implementation of Xinu available somewhere
with complete support of a local file system ?

What I am looking for is a complete implementation like for a RAM
disk, not an implementation like the RFS or the Macintosh
local file system, since those are using remote/ROM
functions to actually access files.

From jfreter@triton.unm.edu Tue Aug 18 21:01:33 1992

There are many different parking programs for pc's.  But you need to remember

one thing,  EXIT WINDOWS BEFORE TURNING OFF THE PC.  Windows keeps a couple
of files open while it's running.  If you shut off the pc while windows is 
up, it is possible that those files can become cross-linked and thrash the
hard disk.

So, to answer your question, there are no *WINDOWS* hard drive park programs.
But, on simtel, in the disk utilities dir, there are some DOS parking
programs.

---------------------------------------

What about WinPark in ftp.cica.indiana.edu ?

It seems to run OK for Windows 3.0. Is it 
still dangerous ?

Just a remark.  I have used WinPark and it does seem to work.  
However, I would like to see a program that would park your heads

The Win3.1 API docs are not avaiable via FTP to the best of my knowledge.
This is not a big restriction as I see it, because to do anything with
them you would need a compiler capable of generating a Window executable.
All the compilers capable of that these days come with Windows API 
documentation.

If on the other hand you don't want to write code immediately and just want
to browse the dcos, you can get the Win32 API reference from ftp.uu.net in
the /vendor/microsoft/isv-communications directory.  Win32 is a superset of
the Win16 interface in Windows 3.1 but it will give you the idea.

I'm using an Adaptec controller.  When I went to Windows 3.1, I had no problem
with or without the /double_buffer.  But, both were slower than the version of
Smartdrv that came with 5.0.  Also, the disk heads spent much more time
rattling around.  I also didn't like the write cache because I never flush the
buffers before crashing my PC.

I switched back to the Smartdrv from DOS 5.0.  Everything has been fine ever
since.  I have a permanate swap file that I setup with Windows 3.0.

  Not quite "all of the luck". It only eliminates the really bad part of
  getting blown sky high on your first pick. It does not change the chances
  of getting a completely blank area that has no surrounding mines and having
  multiple squares exposed in one pick.
