- What does your m-system.h look like? What other hacking did you do?
- Do you have diffs? (a 3b1 IS SYSV.2 with 2.5 meg/process - yours sounds
- a lot like a Convergent MiniFrame which is the 3b1's first cousin).
-
-
- Acutally, given the shared libraries, the 3b1 is actually pretty
- efficient. The kernel is only 153K and I've seen several programs that
- take up umpty-megs on a RISC box run pretty well on a 3b1 (68010). That
- is not to say that ST-1.1.1 will, however :-)
-
- I also am looking at "little smalltalk" as an alternative on my 3b1
- since my point in bringing ST up is self-education, not developing the
- next "killer app" for the hottest platform in town. And since a 3b1
- (not a PC) is what I happen to own at home ....
