- Will estdio work on M68K system? I recall hearing from one person he had
- it working, but that it was not officially support/no instructions.
-
- The last I heard, the next update to macminix will use the comm toolbox
- for the windows, thus you get cut/paste and scroll back.
-
- As for file IO, I had a 10 line hack that simply caused MacMinix to call
- the Mac device driver rather than using a file for the fileSystem. I will
- try it again and see if it speeds things up. Last time I tried it was on
- a mac+ with a floppy, BIG damger hear, since it calls the driver directly
- and thus a bad sector no will trash the mac part of the disk. Then again
- it might be faster, and I have minix on a HD by itself.
-
- More later...
