Having all that could remove another 'external' subsystem. I'd really
like FreeMiNT to be a 'complete' OS.

Me too: No TOS, no HD-driver, only a MiNT-loader (which is started like
a HD-driver). How did Linux-68k solve this?

They have drivers for all hardware.

There you go :-)

But first the blocking IO should be removed and real threads and maybe
memory-swapping are needful too.

DMA is possible for SCSI and floppy already. It is possible to fake DMA

But currently it blocks, doesn't it?. I remember having looked at the code long ago, and I think there was not much missing.
