    Mac Toolbox's calls are interruptibles..
    (Have you ever tried BDFInit that made FULL multitasking under MF ?)

    And to run under MF, Macminix HAVE TO use Mac toolbox, to handle
    it's windows for example..

    I think MacMinix will have sooner a non-blocking FS,
    MAC/OS calls could be async by passing a completion routine in
    the parameter block.

    Question : If I order my MacMinix now.. what's the delay ??
