That would depend on how much money you have. If you don't have much, a 1040ST with monochrome monitor would be a good computer for Minix. You could add a hard disk later when you could afford it. If, on the other hand, money is not that much of a problem, you would want to get a Mega-4ST, again with the monochrome monitor. You would also want to get one of Supra's 20- or 30-meg hard disks that fit inside the Mega case. This would give you a VERY nice Minix computer - 8Mhz 68000 processor, 4 meg RAM, 640x400 Monochrome graphics, 20 or 30 meg of disk space, etc. Need I say more? -- {hpda, uwmcsd1}!sp7040!obie!wes "Happiness lies in being priviledged to work hard for long hours in doing whatever you think is worth doing." -- Robert A.
