Does Atari ST version of minix run on Atari TT ?

The un-modified ST version will not run on the TT because of the
brain-damaged way to encode the exception number in the exception vector.

The 68030 presents no problem otherwise, as long as no address or bus error
occurs (this problem is common when porting 68000-MINIX to 68010/20/30).
(I hope that it presents no problem).

I cannot tell much about other hardware dependencies....
My cross compiled ST version could be a test because I wrote down the
proper exception vectors when translating stmxp.s to GAS syntax, but
I do not know if the Computer Store lets me fiddle around with the only
TT that is hanging around....
