Hi Petr!

PS>OK, so what if FreeMiNT allocated two word blocks in a global memory

PS>This would solve the private memory problem but it's getting rather
PS>complicated. I doubt FreeMiNT would do that to support just one or two
PS>TSRs.
Yes, that's the way I see it too

PS>A real reentrancy for (some?) GEMDOS calls would be better (even if I
PS>had to check the MiNT version before calling the GEMDOS from interrupt
That's the real solution, I think

PS>heh, this could be a good reason to dump the FreeMiNT version from
PS>1.15.x straight to 2.0 so we could document "FreeMiNT since v2.0
PS>allows calling GEMDOS from interrupts" :-)
serial support via xdds -> 3.0
background DMA -> 4.0
working virtual memory -> 5.0
virtual address spaces -> 6.0
making supervisor mode not to block multitasking -> 7.0
;-)

Bye
