someone had a crack at mint on steem again about 2 years ago, there
was an issue with hard/floppy drive, not emulated enough for mint.. I
will check this out soon myself, got to finish up compiling some other
emus first..

STEem with 14Mb running uncapped should be the flashest 68000 around,
if I could just find a pc mainboard small enough to fit in an ST/e
shell.. :)

With STEem source available now, maybe some Natural Features can be
added, nfeth would be a nice place to start .. ;)
