I have a really naive question about the MMU in the A2500: What does it
actually *do* for you? 
 
I thought MMUs performed such functions as address translation, and
were also used to produce separate address spaces for separate tasks.
I didn't think that the A2500 used it for either of these purposes.
 
Does the MMU have a concrete purpose when running AmigaDos, or is it
only for Amiga Unix and/or future use?
 
Just curious. Thank you!
