I have an old Tandy 286 in my dorm room that I'd like to use as, at least,
a word processor.  It has DOS in ROM, but can also be set to boot from a
disk.  I'd like to be able to use Minix, but booting from a i86 kernel
just froze.  So, does anyone have any experience with these old Tandy's
and Minix, or am I stuck using DOS proggies on it?
