- Sure, how could they ? The examples are for ECS machines and are
- examples that are explicitely NOT to be used in code. They are JUST
- to show you how the (ECS- and OCS-)chips work.
-
- And regarding AGA. You were NOT supposed to access AGA hardware at all.

- Why should it ? The HW manual is NOT something that shows you how
- to program the Amiga. It just shows you how the hardware works and
- you _may_ use this _knowledge_ in your programs but surely not the
- examples.
-
- And if you dared to read the HW manual then you would know that.
