This might be an idea to put this into the BOOT kernel. If I'm
correct, the second view won't eat any memory until it's opened.

Correct. In the arch directory, you can remove all but 'atari' & 'm68k'
if space is tight.

Probably lots of messages of st-pool running out. These messages seem

Thomas did the Falcon video stuff. If I remember well, he knows about
the bug, but he has no fix for it yet.

I'm pretty sure it's a matter of timing constants as except for the
timing tables, the TT & Falcon code is identical and the TT version
works....
