Cheers for that - so is it general incompatibility with the 1200 or a lack of drivers that makes the PPC accelerator not work on par with the 68060?

The operating system is running on 68k and when rendering graphics or trying to do some simple disk I/O you have to call 68k OS call which is very expensive from PPC side. You haev to carefully design your application to utilize PPC efficiently.

Needless to say many PPC ports were extremely buggy and crashed often.

I had BlizzardPPC and it made good yet expensive MP3 player.
