Sorry that it took a while, but finally I made a diff between
/usr/include from Minix 1.5 PC as sold by PH and the include files used
for Transputer Minix.  I hope the diff causes no problem, it is about
200k uncompressed.  :-/ Anyway, please drop me a message if it worked or
if you got problems.  It is available from:

   ftp.thp.uni-koeln.de, pub/linux/transputer/

After applying the patch to a _COPY_ of the .../include tree you should
be able to compile things using the rootfs from the same server.  I am
working on a new rootfs with more commands (all of them free available,
no Minix code) contained.

There is a new Linux link driver called b004.tz in the same directory,
which fixes the previous bug of being slow unless the Linux box has
some load (dhrystone works ok for that purpose).  THIS IS A BETA
VERSION.  IT WORKS FOR THE AUTHOR AND FOR ME BUT YOU ARE WARNED.

There will be a new boot loader and monitor out hopefully soon.  Those
who still experience that the boot loader hangs after printing a message
are encouraged to send me the following:

-  Iserver version (just start iserver without arguments to get it)
-  The output of "iserver -sz -sb boot.btl".

I am using iserver 1.5, which is highly recommended for performance
reasons.
