  I have had no problems with 1.2 (assume 1.3x should be even better) on
3.5" 720k floppies - the code to support them is in floppy.c.  I *HAVE*
had a problem with the system I want to run MINIX on - an AT&T 6300WGS.
Apparently some machines are a lot less IBM-like in their FDC's than in
other areas.
