I am attempting to get MINIX running on a PS/2 Model 60.  If anyone else
has worked on something similar to this please let me know.  If you are
interested in getting a copy of responses people send to me, send me mail.
If there is enough interest, I'll summarize.

One problem is that interrupts are level sensitive, not edge-triggered, so
the servicing routine in floppy.c dies.  I have made some quick fixes to
this, attached a 5.25" drive, and rerouted all drive requests to it.
However, the floppy driver still doesn't work.

tty.c seems to work fine (along with F1).  I haven't been able to check the 
hard disk drivers, since I can't get past the initial attempt to load 
the root file system.
