Not yet! Nothing in there is configured! I first need to back-port the
A2's RTL8139 NIC driver to NO. I'm already on my way with this project
- lining up all my ducks (Modules). I've got them all except one -
Machine.Mod. All I can find is the A2 Machine.Obx. I've got _it_
sitting in my FAT partition, along with the other required modules -
KernelLog.Mod and PlugIns.Mod. However, I can't seem to get:

System.CopyFiles ....

to work - no way; no how! I'm not too worried about the .Mod files,
because I can simply "edit" them and turn around and "store" into
SYS:... It's the Machine.Obx that I need to rename to Machine.Obj and
move over to SYS:, or recompile Machine.Mod if I could find the bloody
thing ;)

Too true...

It did...

Isn't _that_ always the way!
