John: From the January, 1991 _BYTE_, article by Tim Holloway, "The object-oriented Amiga Exec", quote from page 334: "Nothing in the basic design of Exec actually requires only a single CPU to be present in the system. Exec could be implemented in a multiprocessor system if access to system lists were properly serialized. Amiga 2500 systems contain a 68000 and a 68020 (or 68030). At present, one or the other is put to sleep at boot time, but there are possibilities here." Also, from page 3 of Commodore's "A2286/A2088 Bridgeboard User's Guide": "One of the most powerful features of the Amiga/Bridgeboard design is the ability to run software tailored specifically to take advantage of the combined strengths of the Amiga and PC systems. For example, a hybrid A2286 system using 80286 and 80287 processors on the PC side could be performing process monitoring while the 68XXX series processor on the Amiga side is handling real-time graphics display of the process monitoring." Why haven't we seen either of these things from either CBM or third party tech wizards? Or have they been done, but quietly? ?|^] Ray Lewis
