If you get ANYTHING at all to work, let me know. eldred@rrunner.jpl.nasa.gov (Dan Eldred) wrote: > Hey, I had MacMiNT running on a Mac Plus, but it was torture.

My understanding was that MacMiNT wasn't really up to snuff, yet. You could try MacMinix. It isn't free, but at about $80, it's much cheaper than MachTen, and there's a Minix newsgroup to bitch in. If you're in the LA area, you can pick it up at OpAmp Technical Books. Otherwise, try a university computer/book store. -Carl Holmberg----------HMSC Bldg 842/9-----------"Fine Guided------ -CMHolm@va24669.hac.com-P.O.
