MiNT is running on TOS 4.04 which is running under CF68KLib. I would think TOS running on coldfire is a MUCH more impressive achievement then mint. Also, because of CF68Klib, a lot of work hasn't necessarily been done yet that needs to be done, but at the same time it gives us a nice interrim if not slower step. But I'll agree... It's pretty damn impressive! Here's the youtube video of me booting up TOS on my board: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGxyXecd4ms Thanks, Mark
