Every couple of months these same questions appear. Could some take all these posts and summarize them and build a new entry for the monthly posting? Randell? It could cover which Amigas have MMUs, define memory protection vs. virtual memory vs. resource tracking, why memory protection and resource tracking can't reasonable be added to AmigaDOS, what utilities (from SetCPU to Angle) do use the MMU, etc. I think those are all the related questions. Any time one is asked, all the others issues are eventually brought up too. Other things to include advice on how to not have your Amiga guru and notes about the fact that Mac and MS-DOS doesn't have any of this protection and people have to reboot then all the time but they don't complain. :-) Hmmm... maybe I'll write this if Randell, Dave, Dave, Peter, Peter, et. al. will let me re-use their posts.
