Yes, you're right. But there was a patch for this in recent 1.11 or 1.12
versions of MiNT.

OK. FPATCH2 could be incorporated into MiNT, HSMODEM probably should be
put into MiNT and FXDRIVE (the FastRAM part) will have to be put in
MiNT, imho. So you basically run MiNT as the first one in AUTO, already
