instead of coming up with this stupid idea yet again use, test and contribute to aros on platform of your choice. be it on amiga (68k). help to make it faster and more stable. btw. even a simple smp implementation is underway just now.

Not to be an egghead or anything, but when you say 'SMP' do you actually mean 'Symmetric MultiProcessing' or do you mean 'some way to utilise multiple cores'. ;)

Now that's just silly. Silly to expect me to fully understand what I'm seeing anyway. ;)
Obviously a commit log for changes to AROS for SMP support (topped by one for 68K architecture, which even my addled brain finds curious given the lack of multicore 68K Amiga systems). I just don't appreciate how far along the road they are to implementing it.
