- The AES grabs all kinds of vectors, which is the main reason you can't
- kill the (MultiTOS) AES and restart it -- the vectors are left pointing
- into free memory. (The ROM AES also has a BSS at a fixed address in
- memory, so after it has run once some variables are initialized (and so
- it doesn't re-initialize properly the next time).
-
- As for the AES devices: AES_MT is a hack to avoid polling all the things
- (timer, mouse, etc.) the AES may be interested in, and AES_BIOS is
- a hack to fix programs that mix BIOS and GEM I/O (reading from AES_BIOS
- is basically the same as doing an evnt_keyboard).
