I mean, just consider the case presented by litwr here: far from TOS informing you a 68020 only instruction was encountered and continuing to work without problem*, in reality TOS displays 4 bombs when it encounters any illegal instruction (including 68020 instructions on a 68000) and then ignores the instruction. It certainly doesn't continue without issue. After all, the real world result of randomly ignoring instructions can be guessed, but just in case other people reading the thread might wonder: ignoring random instructions almost always means your code will crash the system sooner rather than later. And if not, it certainly won't work as expected regardless. *) litrw literally wrote "The Atari ST OS works much better, in such cases it just informs you about the problem and continues working!". This is 100% false information, TOS does not contain a 68020 emulator and doesn't handle illegal instructions any better than Amiga OS. Last edited by roondar; 26 April 2021 at 13:34. |

It doesn't prevent Atari trolls, but good for unwanted Amiga Gurus. |

This was more about the meaning of the acronym than anything else, guess that backfired. From my memory fragments when testing GOMF back in the early 90s it was more of a joke than something useful. It did suspend the task, remember that much, but you still felt like pressing CTRL-Amiga-Amiga really fast. For the A500 I had Nordic Power (hardware freezer), that was more useful. http://amiga.resource.cx/search.pl?product=nordic+power Last edited by modrobert; 26 April 2021 at 16:49. |

This makes the ST a little more robust than the Amiga. Quote:
It is perfectly possible to catch the illegal instruction exception on the Amiga too, either by altering the vector directly (not recommended under OS) or by registering an exception handler in your task structure. |
