It doesn't use most of the Amiga-specifics

Dunno bout the others, but would you please scrap GFA-Basic from that list ?

That one is even worse than AmigaBasic  :-x

Actually it just won't run when RAM is installed beyond the 1st 16MB of address-space. Had no problem running it on an A2000 with 3MB.

It will get nasty if you got anything better than 68EC20, cos of it's stupid 24bit-addressing.

Amiga-trivia-question No. 51224:
Where does the onboard fast-ram of an A3000/4000 sit in in it's address-space ?

Hint, the 1st byte of that address is != 0  :-P
