[Freemint-list] Load MINT.CNF at odd address

[Markus Fröschle]

I would imagine the only driver that has this problem is the IDE driver 
since SCSI and ACSI (rather: their corresponding DMA units) as well as 
the Floppy should be able to do DMA transfers to/from odd addresses anyway.

Anyone to know how TOS handles this?

I would imagine that there is no problem when loading to TT RAM (since 
there is the FRB fast ram buffer in between), but how does TOS 2.06 
(with STRAM only) deal with it?
