Wicher 500i - classic turbo card for A500

Too much patching going on already, OS3.x needs a serious cleanup.
Software should very well be able to ask the OS what CPU they are running on, and use optimised functions accordingly.

but the current software doesnt ask the os what cpu it is running on. instead it relies on the user to choose the right version of the binary for the cpu by hand. awful! the only solution i can think of is a cpu that is backwards compatible or almost fully backward compatible to all 68k cpu versions out there. the closest realisation of which is apollo fpga core, for what ive heard.

Uncarefully written software, as usual. If done properly, the software has to check, and uses optimized functions where possible. This is not a choice the user should make.

uncarefully, right, im not advocatting that, as you might have noticed, but the situation ist that is actegory that fits almost all software written for amiga. the hell of cpu optimized library versions as example.
