| 2006-08-09 Eiffel support & Atari ST compatibility
|  If you have an Atari ST(e) with more than 2mb of RAM at hand you may be interested to learn that FreeMiNT/XaAES yet again is usable on such a setup! This may well be the first time that XaAES can be used on such hardware after it was turned into a kernel module. Early test suggests that on a 4mb setup you can have as much as >2mb of free RAM after loading Teradesk!
Since there is currently a new module API in the works, chances are that some things like eg. task manager, resolution switcher, etc can be made optional in the future, leaving even more RAM to use applications.
On another note, XaAES now has built-in support for the Eiffel. It is still early days but now the mouse scroll wheel works right out of the box, no need a particular VDI or TSR. It just works! A new alpha release will however have to wait until the current module API is ready, so please be patient.

| 2006-08-02 Development news
| The main developer of XaAES, Odd Skancke, has been sent an Atari STe to allow him to track down problems that currently makes FreeMiNT/XaAES unusable on 68000-setups. In parallel with this effort, there is also work being put into introducing a new module API. FreeMiNT/XaAES modules should be possible to load/unload at any time, and things that eg. resolution changer and such will most likely be turned into modules in the future. By taking this route, it will be possible to equip the system with the functionality that is needed and leave out things that are not.
