SMP (multi-processing) only works with like-processors, and the Amiga was never designed with SMP in mind.  an 060 and PPC can't work together in the same way that two PPC chips or even two Xeon chips can since they are completely different architectures.

On turboboards for the classic Amigas, not useing OS4 the PPC is nothing more then a coprozessor, think of it as an 68882 on an Blizzard 1230, only in a bigger scale.
So only Programms optimised for the "Copro" will use the PPC.
