I am not yet programming under MiNT; actually I don't even yet have
it...BTW: can you tell me what is the bare minimum I need to say "I am
running MiNT", and which is the best place to get it?
Well, I cannot really say that I am programming either. But can you tell me
all the device numbers, just to let me start to practice...Another BTW: I
use the Lattice C compiler from HiSoft: if I ever start going MiNT, is this
compiler OK to build projects?

Thanks a lot,
Dante
