If I knew what I was talking about, I wouldn't be talking.


How does one set the 68000 exception vectors?  There is a system
call for the user exceptions, but not for the GURUing types (like
divide by zero).

I know that if I'd designed the beast, there'd be a system handler
for each code triggered vector that would dispatch exceptions to
wherever the program wanted to be dispatched to.  The GURU would
be the default vector, for exceptions that hadn't been initialized.

But that may all be wishfull thinking.  Does anybody who knows
care to tell me?
