Re: port-atari/56710: port-atari freeze with >16MB TT RAM, on multiple machines with different configurations

[David Ross <randomdross00%gmail.com@localhost>]

I know there's Aranym (https://aranym.github.io/) though I haven't
attempted to run netbsd on it.  I should probably give it a try.
Though it looks like there's no support for emulation of an ethernet
adapter that's supported by netbsd, which would prevent me from
directly hitting this specific scenario.
