I recently ran the test "dd if=/dev/hd0 of=/dev/null  count=1000"
to see if the hard disk on my NCR PC-8 would work from MINIX. The
test passed with flying colors.   I  was  able  to  re-format/re-
partition my drive and run without problems.

The most recent listing of MINIX  machines  I  have  (REF:  Minix
Information   Sheet   from  AST  on  23  FEB  88,  Subject  MINIX
announcement) shows MINIX running on the PC-8 but  not  with  the
hard disk.

The only difference that I know of in  my  pc  versus  a  factory
stock is that I have a WREN 1 (control data) drive instead of the
usual SEAGATE.
