It's very strange, I never had this problem, altough I'm using
MINIX in 65 Macs.

Fine, I first had the same problem on a MACPlus years ago. Now,
using a PowerBook I wanted to have a running UNIX for the days
without my bigbox a home, so I searched for my MINIX, found it
and installed it on the PB. After some very interesting crashes,
I recovered a lot of nice things, I have to look for.

Using System 7 and 7Pro, I installed the US-Keyboard, because using Germany
Key-Layout, forces MINIX to say absolutely NO and GOODBYE. :-{
Never press a very left key on top of the PB-Keyboard. Login with ROOT
and Geheim does not work any longer. If your harddisk ist called "harddisk",
and you want to save the file fortune from /usr/lib to your mac-disk, the
appropriate command of macwrite is:

macwrite harddisk:fortune < fortune

That works already fine for me

Nice Greetings from Munich - Germany

Yes, yes, I are right.

I had a lot of problems with the keyboard.
I had to modify the kernel to make it works with
the spanish keyboard and I had to comment some
lines setting up the serial lines. After these
modifications I've got everything working fine.

I can put here the modifications i did ...
(if some explain to me how to put it as a patch).
