	I've got three low-end PCs:

	-An 8088/640k desktop PC, without harddisk, and an Hercules video card.
I'm trying to make some kind of network device for Minix to provide a
filesystem to this PC from my main PC, but have not found the time to
really work on it.

	-An 8088/640k desktop PC, with VGA, and 20MB HD. It boots Minix, but is
planned to be installed with ELKS in the near future.

	-An 80286/640k laptop* PC with monochrome VGA LCD 10'. It boots
MSDOS/Windows3.0, Minix 2.0.2 and ELKS, and has got an old Ethernet card
to my main desktop PC.


(*) It was called "portable" those days, because could be "ported" and
had got a battery, but actually uses desktop technology. The floppy and
hard disk are common desktop ones (actually, this HD has been installed
from an old 100MB disk I found in the office a few months ago).
