Is this really a argument about generate a bus erro ro not? I dont
thnik so.

But thats is the normal behavior of MiNT! MiNT is a GEMDOS replacement
and uses the driver of the underlying TOS. If you have a loadable
driver, it is a bonus but not a must.

I can check it. But i think, it will not help. If you habe a TT, you
have a defined set of hardware including a SCC. It is not a PC which
may have such hardware as a extension. So there is no need for a TT
driver to probe for some hardware. For a TT you know, which harware is
present!
