# Todos

Trying to fix several issues:

- Minix 2.0.4: has some weird issues around IRQ handling. It gets stuck
  in readclock (I suspect after every IRQ, because it happens also when
  using sleep - which needs a hardware clock interrupt - and when printing
  to serial). The CF uses _no_ interrupt, this explains why Minix 2 is
  booting at all.

# things known to work

- DOS 6.22 with mTCP network stack and a NE2000 Kinston card
- Mini 1.7 boots and runs just fine
- Booting XT-IDE serially with DOS image
- Booting Minix 2.0 over serial using the Linux version of serdrive
  from XT-IDE
