You mean m68k programmers are no real programmers?
Good point, Andreas.
Did Commodore do anything above an 030 itself?
The Amiga bus seems, at best, suited for an 030.
My own company's best board was 020 based, and this was vastly superior to the regular 68K.
The entire 68K range, at least in my opinion, falls into three groups. First the basic 68000 and similar processors like the 68010. Then the 020 and 030, and finally the 040 and 060.
There very very big jumps in performance per cycle at each of these.
But still, the 68K is a dead issue.
It will never perform anywhere near as well as our current PPCs.
