Hatari 1.9 and Minix: it just works

[marcello]

Hi
I've uploaded a disk image of the Minix OS 1.5 for the Atari ready to be used for Hatari.
http://subsole.org/minix_on_the_atari_st

Seems a bit unstable, but I think it comes from Minix iteself at it was never that stable on the 68000 due to lack of real MMU
I don't see any illegal instructions or the like from the shell where I started hatari

Hi all,

I can confirm this, Minix is running wih Hatari 1.9 again.

By the way, someone interested in Minix 2.0.2 / 2.0.4 for Atari-ST?

Yes if you have a disk image I would be intersted
If you habe a github link to the source would be nice to ? Did you test it on real hardware ? Does TCP / IP work ?

[tritonus]

Yes, it runs on real hardware, and yes, TCP/IP is working (via rs232).
Okay. Give me some time to prepare a disk image.

A disk image is almost finished, it will be about 100MB.
How can I publish it?

Hi Tritonus Thanks

You can put it on Dropbox, and create a shared link

Fantastic stuff! I don't have any Atari hardware to work with anymore, but I am interested in the converted sources if they are available in .tar format, as I still have an Amiga 1200+68030 adapter, and I am working on porting 1.6.25 to this platform. A further step might be to port 2.0.2/4.

Thanks!

Hi Tritonus
Just boot the stuff on Hatari works great ( fortunately I speak german so I could read some of the debug messages
BTW how did you port thje whole sutff, did you cross compile or did everything locally ?

I also noticed that Minix is quite picky about FS errors, after a hard reset of hatari, the file system was damaged and fsck failed, leaving me with an error ( cann handle V2 file systems and an unbootable system) Have you seen such a problem ?

Thank you!

Having these images ready to use are a great help to newcomers like me!
