Well, no, that's my old project.  The A2620 has an MMU.  Currently the only way I know
to take advantage of this MMU is with the SetCPU program I wrote, which does much to
speed up the system, but little to protect or virtualize your system.  But heck, that's
only spare-time hacking on my part, and by a mainly-hardware guy too.  One of the
reasons I made the source to SetCPU V1.4 public domain was to show everyone how easy
playing MMU games can be.  Apparently at least one group has taken the bait, my sources
tell me.  And I wasn't the first to start MMU hacking under AmigaOS....
