This compaq has : - a 20286 - a 20287 (but I'm not sure, I've not used this computer since 1991), I will test for it - 1,6 MB of ram - a 40 MB IDE disk - two serial ports The two serial ports are detected at boot time as ttys0 at 0x3F8 (irq = 4) with 16450 ttys1 at 0x2F8 (irq = 3) with 16450 and lp0 at 0x3BC I've been able to fdisk and mkfs (but not mount due to my lack of knowledge of mount parameters, the simple mount /dev/bda1 /mnt provided in the faq doesn't work). Just for information : I must say I've not been able to run minix 2.0.3 on it. I had problems with mkswap or something like that and switched to elks that seems more fun to explore. I'm really interested on having tcpip services working because I would like to use a null modem wire (with pppd when it will be available if not allready done) to transfer compiled files from my linux gateway to the 286 instead of having to write floppy, unmount, mount, launch and so on...
