You're right obviously but the idea of having a fully hardware-based tile mode supported by the OS really sounds really nice to my hears.

I just looked at the code and it is really a nice piece of assembly, short, clear and to the point. I really like the fact that the copper prepares its blit-list entirely autonomously and that there really is no extra fat anywhere.
It would be a really good example to use in a "copper and blitter" course.

Also, I like your

setsystem.s

file, impressively meticulous and exhaustive! Is it available under a particular license?
