But now V5 has SYSTEM.<something>($<indeterminate byte sequence>$).
So, I'm trying to find out how-low-you-can-go, and still keep the
old-proven code, before you need to spend original effort, to port
Oberon [with the unique HCI] to different hardware.

Yes, but where's the linking info, which MUST be available to call
any SYSTEM.<Proc>?

Sure, but it IS magic. Compared to the lame C facilities.
Unless stuff like visual-studio can compete?
