What is memory protection and why is it so hard to implement for the AmigaOS?

@Fats
The issue of MP has been debated for at least 15 years.

Yes, and that's just on the WWW! The usenet debates/flames about Amiga MP and resource tracking went back almost to the beginning. People have been thinking about it for almost a quarter century, and as Piru has pointed out, no one has delivered yet.

I did an experiment back in '93-'94 where I ran an A1000 continuously for nearly a year and half without a single problem. Never powered it down or gave it a three fingered vulcan nerve pinch. It was running several apps, including a BBS.

I believe it was Dr. Peter Kittel of CBM Germany/Escom that used to speak of how he ran his A1200 24/7/365 without problems or crashes. He was very careful with his system configuration, and carefully checked out any new software with enforcer/etc and did not run any software that was not clean. Sort of a software Whitelist, and it worked for him. But I'll bet he did not have as much fun as the rest of us
