- *SIGH*
- This thread really makes me tired...
- If it doesn't _seem_ to be difficult to you, the only reason is you didn't
- understand the problems involved in Memory Protection.
- AmigaOS was not, is not and never will be designed for MP. Take message
- passing as an example...
-
- NOT having memory protection is perhaps something which you might miss
- in AmigaOS, but it's also one of its _biggest_ features speedwise!
- If you want a small, fast Realtime OS, use AmigaOS.
- If you want a protected multi-user system, use UNIX.
- Both are available for the Amiga ;-)
