RE: [MiNT] drives in U:

["Julian Reschke" <reschke@muenster.de>]

The idea was to set the hidden attribute. I have tested this in SPIN! and it
works fine in Mupfel and Gemini (meaning, the entry in U:\ disappears). The
issue is that MiNT currently does not allow to change the hidden attribute
in directories, so some action from Frank is required.
