I would surely help if I am able.
Where the problem actually is I am not sure, only that booting to single
TOS solves the problem.  I'd like to avoid having to reboot to compile
as I love using MiNT and GFA.  The funny part is the GFA Editor was
always the problem, but now I can code in the old GFA Editor for hours
under MiNT, even with aIRC running in the background, but cannot compile.
;o)

In a previous reply you stated: "Options are in sys/KERNELDEFS."
I see no reference to newfatfs in this file or how to adjust the
file in such a way to let me control which drives are seen as
newfatfs drives.  If I can control which drives are seen as newfatfs
I simply will not enable the one drive where all my sources are stored.
I know the GFA compiler is very old, this is one way to get around it for
the time being.  Can I get some help here?  I am lost how to do this.
