I have been reading this newsgroup for a couple of months, and I have
a question about M68000-based versions of Minix 1.5. How do they
manage concurrent forks, since all of, say, an Atari ST is a single
address space? If they swap all of the data, bss and allocated memory
in and out constantly, it must slow things down.

Thanks,

David
