I understand that unix needs memory i dont mind getting >a bigger harddisc and more memory if thats what it takes! Albert - what's the story with Minix's kernel stuff? In particular the device drivers (floppy, scsi) and the terminal driver? I was wondering whether now that Mach has been publicly released, if we might put up the Mach kernel using a lot of the work done for Minix, and then when GNU Unix becomes available we could have a full unix for A440's for free.
