No, I didn't say that. I said that MiNT reports "hardware" whenenver the access address is not within user RAM, so this could either be because non-existant memory was accessed, or some hardware register was accessed incorrectly or without sufficient permissions (i.e. from user mode). Actually, "private" and "free" are those types caused by an invalid descriptor (when the AA is /inside/ the user RAM area), as this is the way the memory protection code marks unused pages or private pages belonging to other processes. Everything that causes an access error exception from outside the user RAM area is always considered being type "hardware". OK?
