- Execbase doesn't have a flag for the 68060 (since the 68060 was not available
- at AmigaOS's last release in 1993).
-
- The full set of flags is currently (from INCLUDE:exec/execbase.h):

- /****** Bit defines for AttnFlags (see above) ******************************/

- /* Processors and Co-processors: */
- #define AFB_68010 0 /* also set for 68020 */
- #define AFB_68020 1 /* also set for 68030 */
- #define AFB_68030 2 /* also set for 68040 */
- #define AFB_68040 3
- #define AFB_68881 4 /* also set for 68882 */
- #define AFB_68882 5
- #define AFB_FPU40 6 /* Set if 68040 FPU */
- /*

- Presumably AT will add additional flags if and when they release a new OS
- version, hopefully with extra flags for the PPC/Alpha/MIPS/SPARC/x86... ;)
