Since Minix-ST is stricken with a slow fork because of the lack of segmentation registers (shadowing technique ala ) would it be possible to use the Mega-ST's blitter for copying the processes back and forth when shadowing to REALLY speed up the fork. I'm using Minix on a 1040ST so there isn't anyway I could look into it. But is it possible. Would it work? When is anyone using the blitter for anything? Putting in blitter calls within ifdef's sounds like a good idea for future versions of the distribution. thanks bernie ugbernie@marvin.cs.buffalo.edu
