The LAWBREAKER program is used to test to see if Enforcer properly traps
illegal memory accesses. It's and example program and does not test for an MMU.
Enforcer does that. But like I said, if the chip says "EC" than it doesn't have
a fully functional MMU. It may work most of the time, but there are no
promises.
Unless you're doing development work, there's little point in having or using
an MMU. No user programs use it, and neither does the OS. Er, well, "CPU
FASTROM" does, but that's it.
