Yes, I do that all the time (I have an ESDI drive that does not seem
to like Linux). You should be able to use another HD with SCSI.

You can ftp the Minix demo diskette from various places. For instance
plains.nodak.edu in directory pub/Minix/????/demo (I haven't tried,
this info is from a posting by Linus). You get a rawrite program with
the demo that you can use to write the images on a diskette. 3.5" work
well.
