I used MuForce on my Amiga 1200 and Amiga 4000. It helped me a lot in preventing random crashes and finding bugs in software. In fact it helped me resolve a random crash in the assembler AHX replayer that I used in my games. It took me some days to make free of Enforcer hits version, but it was worth the trouble. No more random crashes after using it. Many programs don't need to reside in the memory to cause a crash. They just do some changes and later some program when trying to use the altered resources crashes and you go to blame that program, without having a clue that it was some other buggy software.

On AmigaOS 4 the GrimReaper is even better than MuForce. I still compile 68K programs with VBCC and Assembler, that help me remember the old times of instability.
