- Hi Netters,
- Does anyone know why C= don't make specific version of Workbench for specific
- chips.??
- What I mean is compile WB (presume in C) with flags, so 68020/68040 instructions
- can be used.
- Wouldn't WB/and its other applications run faster, as the later chips will
- have better instructions??
-
- I relize that this wouldn't work on a stock 68000, but I don't see any real
- cost in doing this. Amigas generally come with WB so, if I upgrade to a
- 4000, then I get a faster version of WB.
- Or is the speed increase minimal and a waste of time.. ??
-
- Regards..
