[Freemint-list] [MiNT] mmap() (was git/cVS)

[Ryan Daum]

I guess having actual (even minimal) mmap support in MiNT is not feasible
without MMU hardware and virtual memory?

I saw recently that Alan Cox has ported his Fuzix mini-Unix to the 68000.
And has talked about getting it running on the Atari ST:

I wonder if there's any approaches that could be borrowed from there.
