Sure, in some future EmuTOS will have to provide a proper way to detect
its version. But ironically, this will be useless because newer versions
of EmuTOS have no trouble with Hatari ;-)
Thanks to Thomas, newer EmuTOS versions are able to deal with Hatari's
inaccuracy.
Since any EmuTOS patch will not affect the previous 0.8.5 release, I
suggest you to detect it with some heuristic. For example, you can look
at the offset 0x55b4c and check for the "0.8.5" string. Unfortunately
this offset will change in any newer build.
