... just browse the NFS sources and see what looks bad for the FireBee.
And I found... an inline assembler block with the TAS instruction, just in 
case some day FreeMiNT would multitask in supervisor mode !!

The TAS instruction is very special at the hardware level, and for an 
unknown reason it does not work as expected on the FireBee. It should NEVER 
be used on the FireBee (FYI, the same applies to Amiga).

Furthermore, TAS is only useful on multiprocessor systems. I hardly see a 
multicore 680x0 system in a near future...

By chance, "BSET.B #7" is a totally standard user mode instruction, and does 
exactly the same job as TAS on monoprocessor systems. So I replaced that 
instruction.

Then... The NFS client works perfectly in the FireBee now.
And it is fast :-D

I will provide a patch.
