The two are very compatable. The only catch is that "MOVE SR,<ea>" is
a privileged instruction on the 68010, where it wasn't on the 68000.
Programs that use it on the 68010 will trap where they didn't before.

The solution is to insert a shim to catch those traps, do the move for
the user-mode program, and then return. Supposedly, there's a Moterola
app. note that describes this in detail, including code for that trap
handler. I've never seen it, but I may have a code listing somewhere.

I've done this. The speedup on my Amiga was between 4 and 5 percent. I
don't think it's worth the trouble for that. If you really want to
play VM games, then it's wortth the trouble.
