[MiNT] MiNT and AtlanTOS / Coldfire Project

[George Crissman <strads@tmisnet.com>]

Sorry to ask such basic questions -- but I was
wondering:

    With the ongoing development of a new Atari
    Clone computer (150 MHz 5407 http://acp.atari.org/)
    there are rumors that MiNT will be included
    with each system.

    a) Is this true?  (Please let it be true!)
    b) And will there be enough MiNT in ROM to
       allow for a command-line interface and
       support for external storage drives?
    c) Will xAaes also be included in the ROM
       with the basic machine, allowing a gem-
       like windowing environment?
    d) Will the MiNT TCP/IP stack also be in the
       ROM?
    e) If MiNT (all or portions) will not be in
       ROM initially, are there plans to add it
       in the future?

Having the basic functions (kernel, environment,
tcp/ip stack) in ROM would make for quick booting
and great value to prospective owners as well as
providing a level of standardization for software
writers.

Thanks!
