   No, it was closer to no-MMU in most machines. If they'd not been   
   cheapskates and put in an MMU, they could've had memory protection from   
   the start. Also not being in a hurry for CES (or whatever it was) and   
   waiting for CAOS to be written, would've helped.   
      
   But then, so would not hiring a shit ton of PC management to sell PC's   
   instead of hiring more Amiga staff. So would not having dickheads in   
   management who live on a fucking plane who hired another dickhead who   
   destroyed the company.
