I don't understand. > > Arnould Hi Arnould, (I haven't heard of you for a while, or didn't I just pay attention?, anyway nice to hear from you), my main problems are (amongst others): - no highly optimizing (C) compilers (C68 is often not as fast as qdos-gcc, no 68020 and higher support, FPU support is IMHO unuseable for bigger projects, qdos-gcc does not compile/link right (at least on my machine with bigger projects), also the 68020 and higher support has problems, same for FPU support) (ASM is possible with George Gwilts cool GWAsm, but I can only code small programs with asm, I am not Thierry) - and the winner is: slave block problem (same ole, same ole) If these problems were solved, I could have mp3, mpeg etc on Qx0 SMS!
