Again that is how it was back in the day, CPU and supporting hardware, OS, compiler, standard libs etc all co-engineered. Tho' in the case of the Amiga the CPU was part of the supporting hardware, the heart of the system was something else that farmed work out to the CPU or a co-pro as appropriate...
Is there a good online reference for this design?
