I wonder if it would be possible to build an Apricot 'compatible' kernel that uses the Apricot BIOS. I admit that t his would not be the most elegant solution but surely it would be the quickest solution to realize. The advantage of using the Apricot BIOS (ie int 0xFC) would be that the port could run on the whole family of (early) Apricot machines (PC FE F1 FP etc.) Until now I have not realized any of my thoughts (lack of time), but I am planning to do so as quick as possible. ----------------------- Waling Tiersma Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen U448020@HNYKUN11.BITNET
