yes, I'd rather wish you're right too :)

what happend -- it was meant as school project and after I passed that
subject (with the unfinished stuff left) I didn't find the time to
finish it. The main idea was to use UVM because it's really, really,
really nicely separated from NetBSD kernel with cleanly described API.
Except this, there's fantastic UVM documentation (disertation thesis)
by author and m68k port already done so it was really worth to try.

i didn't give up on this but you know -- there's so much atari stuff
to do... to be honest, in my priority list, this UVM is somewhere in
the middle (it's very attractive subject but it needs a LOT of time to
finish it -- i.e. other atari projects will be stopped then). I have
stored on CD all mails I swapped with Frank, NetBSD maintainers, old
discussions from mintlist, separately compilable UVM (independent from
NetBSD already) etc so it's really not the case of "I lost all
sources, bye" :)
