One problem. MINIX runs as a boot disk, and PC-ditto currently won't let
you use MSDOS boot disks. There is supposed to be a way to modify boot
disks so they'll work, but the only copy of MINIX I've had access to was
not mine, so I didn't feel free to alter (or copy) it. If you make it work,
let us all know...
