I have successfully put MINIX on my 30M RLL hard disk. It works great! The only
problem that I encountered was that I had to change the sectors per track info
and such in the wini driver. I don't know if there are any problems other than
this on 1.2. My mods were made on 1.1. You will also have to change fsck.c to
reflect the same kind of changes.

      Have fun!
