- True, but you have the source -- put MMU support in.

- Wrong 1.5.10.2 supports the A2091 controller and the A3000's SCSI controller.

- Not surprisingly, considering that AGA is pretty new.

- Wake up. MINIX is an alternative OS. OF COURSE IT DOESN'T SUPPORT 2.x/3.x.
- It REPLACES it when it runs.
