"If the MiNT is supposed to execute GEM, you should specify the full path and filename. You can also request MiNT to execute the TOS AES residing in ROM. WARNING: this is not recommended, you should use a GEM version instead, that is multitasking friendly. If your init program is not GEM, you should use INIT " Does this warning also apply to Systems where MultiTOS is loaded - or maybe machines where MultiTOS is burned into ROM?
The statement above applies to the single-tasking GEM shipped in the ROM of ST/TT/Falcon computers. It doesn't have anything to do with MultiTOS, because MultiTOS = MiNT + a multitasking AES (specifically, AES 4.0 and 4.1). A "multitasking AES" is by definition also multitasking friendly, so I don't see how the warning could apply.
I don't think either that there are machines where a multitasking AES is burned in ROM.
In the end I'm curious if FreeMint could be part of the ROM...
As far as I remember the code, it cannot. Pozdrawiam KMK
