- Strange, I've never heard of Elvis 1.6, and archie only mentions a jelvis
- (localised Japanese) 1.6 elvis. Not that it matters - it only took 10
- minutes to port anyway. The main thing is to have a MiNT friendly version,
- since all the `normal' TOS ports are brain-damaged (they busy-wait on the
- keyboard in order to implement time-out, which screws multitasking
- performance).
