why not send it here as unified diffs?

sounds like a TSR has been swapped out ;-)

Anyway, it sounds like the MiNT 1.14 is not usable at all. Is anybody
around with MMU knowledges to fix it?

BTW, MiNT doesn't work well on machines with more than 26 MB of RAM
(according to Douglas Little). Also, we would need to patch MiNT to get
memory protection running on a 68040. Eric, was it you who wrote the
original MiNT MMU code? Are you still listening?
