That's right! And just to add a few more to this insightful and valid thread, the dir, cd and list comands of the AmigaDos requires a working FPU AND MMU! Without them, they just crash.


That's complete nonsence! My standard A600 (wich most Amiga folks know they have no FPU or MMU) don't require
a FPU or MMU to run the Dir, Cd, and List commands.
These commands run just fine without them.

Then try to see that i was making a point. The dir command is using the FPU as much as other apps mentioned here, earlier.


Lol. One can count the apps that are using the FPU on the fingers of one hand...;-)

:lol:

The whole point about FPU's, without all the annoyance,
is that any Amiga with average use has no need for an
FPU whatsoever...

What's with this hostile attitude of you?
This is a friendly forum about Amiga related
subjects. Hold your horses dude. Otherwise
take your questions elsewhere...

ofcourse i can't make you stop posting other stuff, but then everybody else has to scroll like mad to get to the interesting parts


Then don't respond to my posts anymore...It's because of
you that people has to scroll like mad...It's got nothing
to do with FPU's anymore.

OK, I've got various FPU's on my Amiga's,
(25Mhz, 40Mhz and 50Mhz) and they don't do
any s**t! How do you like that...
