I know this will sound stupid, but...

When people started using 68010's on amiga 500's, they noticed that one
instruction that used to work fine crashed the machine. So, someone wrote
a small assembly hack (which locked up about 40 bytes until the next reboot)
which caught such instructions and translated.

Would it be too much to ask for some one out there to produce a similar hack
to allow 68000 code to run on a 68030 machine, especially the A3000? I am
getting *really* sick of programs which will work on a '500, but not on a
'3000, and I suspect that someone could write a hack to fix this, couldn't they?
I know there are problems with 16-bit addresses and all that, but why can't
(or hasn't) someone produced a program to allow us poor souls, who are spending
so much for these computers, to use more than one program in ten that has been
written "for the amiga"? I mean, really. If nothing else, maybe C= could
send something out with a new version of kickstart 2.x that would include such
a patch. (Sort of like SetPatch.) This would be really appreciated...

Argh. (Note: My problem comes, in part, from the fact that I have *huge*
volumes of software, PD or purchased, which won't run on my computer. This
bugs me.)
