Cool, Im interested..

I noticed that there are also some .txt files in both XDD & XIF
folders in the 1.16 tarballs

I did use an EasyMiNT install to get the MINIX partition formatted

BTW using a MINIX partition allows use of Hisoft Debugger for
long-file-name and lower-case-name projects (ie gcc based projects). I
did have issues with AHCC on MINIX, but there may be other reasons for
that.
