Ahhh _THAT_ is why! Now, I understand the problem. Alle ist klare. :)
Obvious question: how dificult would it be to implement background DMA
(if possible, using the Magic method so that HD-driver can support it)?

I cannot even _boot_ when memory protection is enabled, because the AES,
Thing and INIT violate other applications' memory allocations (AFAIR).
This is especially a problem with Thing because of AV_SERVER protocol.

MiNT 1.15.0, Minix 0.70.9, N.AES 1.1.0, Thing 1.27 with MiNTOS.
