And XaAES too :) I only had a couple of minutes to test this morning, so
I just replaced the kernel with yours and booted. XaAES starts up and
starts the desktop. I started Aniplayer and it apparently works. I will
test a lot more this evening.

Is FATFS disabled, or is just TOSFS enabled? MiNT will use TOSFS by
default if it's enabled. I tested with and without NEWFATFS= and it made
a difference. With TOSFS the SD-card was accessible, with NEWFATFS it
wasn't. The C-partition was accessible in both cases.

That RAM-disk should be possible to disable, along with the
STiK-interface.

If FATFS doesn't work then ext2 won't work either. They are using the
same block-IO interface.

Your D is the FireTOS RAM-disk.

Most likely. GEM=ROM works brilliantly here.

Very good results :) My Firebee has just been transformed into something
usable.
