  A question for the Amiga experts.  I don't pretend to be an expert on the
subject, but doesn't a multitasking enviroment need some sort of memory
protection to keep processes from clobering each other.  It is my understanding
that the Amiga does not have an MMU.  So this protection must be in software.
How does this work, and how reliable is it.  Could I simply write a program
to march through memory and write over all other processes.
  Any answers would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance...
