Nice idea; I think something along these lines should really be
implemented in MiNT. (Perhaps, we should have an unmap command, too.
We then could maintain compatibility with existing versions of MiNT,
and people how don't like this stuff --- if there are any :-)

However, what to do, if I need the floppy later during the session?
Did you mean to make map (and my unmap) to be systems calls or only
commands in MINT.CNF? I suspect having system calls would be better.

Cheers
Wolfgang
