    Mac Minix is a Mac APPLICATION, not a real OS... It access
    Mac Toolbox for disk, windows etc etc...

    AU/X is a REAL OS, it run onto the machine harware ans not onto
    Mac OS....

Questions:
    o Is Mac Minix 32 bits clean ? (touch 8 hight bits of any adress)
    o What the way it use for handling Mac Events ??
    o What machine timer does it use for sheduling ? VIA ? VBL ?
