>>Software for the amiga that requires 020's for no reason is lame, but it does happen. The 68020 has a considerably more advanced instruction set. Programs that operate with bitfields really need a 68020. Personally I think that there should be a version of Workbench/ROM compiled for the 68020. Some of my assembly programs require the 020, for long division, and bitfields. It is so much easier to use these instructions than doing it the long way. People with the 68000 should really try to upgrade, so more people can make their code optimized for the 68020. What is lame is when people make a "68030 version" of their program. What people running C compilers don't know is that there is no instruction set difference between a 68020 and 030, and usually no reason for compiling a 030 verison at all.
