Now that they have finally decided to implement an MMU, it should shut the purists up.
It's the reverse, it's us non-purists who wish to use 68k for other things than just Amiga games that have been missing the MMU...
The reasons are as follow:
* Atari people have been quite vocal about the lacking MMU
* Nice to get some extra money for something that perhaps needed to be done anyways for Kraken...
* We still haven't seen any "Kraken", the AC68080 board for A3000/A4000, and it just might be that ...eh... someone... at long last figured out that OMG an MMU might be very damn practical when having a zorro3 bus where people mix and mangle old zorro2 and zorro3 board, of which some require caching to on and some off etc. and certain drivers and firmware expect and rely on MMU to be available on zorro3 systems. Just speculation from my side.
* Linux and NetBSD. This will be interesting, I can imagine at least a handful of devs that may be interested in buying a V4SA when it can run Linux and/or NetBSD, and with SAGA this may be quite usable systems too. That's what I would buy it for anyways.
