I will be making the VTOS sources available to anyone who wants them.
It will take a couple of weeks for me to rustle up some documentation
and tidy up some of the messier bits and pieces. Watch this space...

It's probably not worth incorporating into the main tree; the hardware
is a bit too esoteric for that! Most of the big changes are in main.c,
bios.c, biosfs.c and memprot.c so if ever they were merged, it
wouldn't be too big a job; I've been fairly careful to #ifdef VMINT
every change I've made. For the time being, it's probably best if I
make a diff file and distribute it on demand from here.
