I don't hope so. Although you are not using them anyway - you said you have
the HSMODEM drivers in the auto folder, which means you can't access the TOS
routines.

I guess it might make problems, or at least be quite sub-optimal: AFAIK,
MiNT does not have a builtin interface to the HSMODEM drivers, which means
that MiNT must call HSMODEM via the BIOS interface for every single
character, instead of doing a block Fread/Fwrite (which should work with the
XDD).
