Originally, MiNT + special version of AES (by       Atari) formed MultiTOS. It was slow and buggy, but it worked.              It is MiNT that allows using filesystems like Minix, ext2 or NFS.              Today you can use FreeMiNT kernel with Xaaes (AES developed from scratch, much       better then original Atari AES).              AdamK              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
