                               Pseudo Drives


MiNT creates a pseudo drive 'U:' which provides access to device drivers,
processes, and other system resources. In addition to creating a directory
on drive U: for each system drive, MiNT may create any of the following
directories at the ROOT of the drive:

Folder Name    Contents

\DEV           Loaded devices

\PIPE          System pipes

\PROC          System processes

\SHM           Shared memory blocks

Drive directories on 'U:' act as if they were accessed by their own drive
letter. Folder 'U:\C\' contains the same files and folders as 'C:\'.
