In my memory it did put level+1 in ipl field when an interrupt occurs. I guess it's been too long i haven't fiddled with these...

But then ipl=7 would mask level 7 but they just prevented it ?

I must always remember not to use it

The CLR bug is a strong hint in that direction anyway. Damned electronicians always take shortcuts where they shouldn't

Another reason for me to prefer coding on 68030
