Neither classic Amigas or the AmigaONE will require a protected mode interface, since they don't have processors based on a half-arsed braindead original architecture.

Perhaps he meant the VESA DPMS?

Or not.

I doubt it, but AFAIK there are screenblankers out there that use DPMS on the Amiga.

There are several DOS emulators available for Amiga but I don't think they are much good.  AmigaOS 4 will support memory paging using the MMU on the PPC.
