Did I understand correctly that currently there's *no* SSW support and
in practice this means that no real MMU using OS would work, as SSW
is needed for recovering from the MMU exceptions?
The reason I ask is that I've mailed with couple of people who might
be interested in trying NetBSD and Linux in Hatari.
