I'm not sure if it should be configured by default. That would make it
GENERIC_ATARITT. It should at least be mentioned. On a slightly related issue:
I saw that FPU_EMULATE is defined by default in the ATARITT config. I wonder
if there were really TT's sold without the 68882.

Ah, yes ;-) This question pops up every now and then. The big problem is that
no one is able to tell me how I can figure out the type of floppy drive
present (without writing to diskettes that is ;-) If you have a hint in that
area, please let me know!

What is the exact message? What is your RAM configuration?

Leo.
