Since MINIX talks directly to the controller, and there is
some queston as to portability for hard-disk machines, I'm wondering
if someone out there can tell me exactly what kind of hard disk
controller the vanilla XT/AT uses ? I was looking at a Western
Digital myself, but don't feel like the hassle of wrestling with
incompatibilities. Also, Anyone with any NEC V-20 systems try MINIX ?
email responses to me, don't waste the whole net's time...
