Only this one has the correct memory protection code for >= 040. > Am I overlooking something or doesn't memory protection work on a Hades > 060. As far as I know, memory protecion on the Hades won't work (with either 040 or 060), as the MMU tree on the Hades is installed by an accessory, which is too late (and brain-dead, IMO). Furthermore, the tree installed by this accessory seems to have invalid root pointers for unused memory areas (i.e., the pointers aren't marked invalid, but just point to some random addresses). This may cause problems as well. Finally, I've not yet been able to check the memory protection code on the 060 myself, so I can't even say it works on other machines with a 060. I'll try to get a 060 for my Milan for that, though it seems to be still not available.
