New features

Is there anything like a hardware compatibility list?

I can't do much with Minix until my Ethernet interface is supported.

Hi Jim,

I can't tell if this list is complete but it gives you at least a hint: http://wiki.minix3.org/UsersGuide/HardwareRequirements

Congratulations!

It's been a long journey and it is a pleasure to see that Minix is still
alive an kicking. This has come a long way since we discussed packages
for Minix 1.5 in Hannover.

Good job everyone. Keep up the good work and I hope I find the time to
help a bit again in the future.


Regards,
Jan
