		scarface74 on May 2, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why Jony Ive left Apple to the ‘accountants’ You’re looking through rose colored glasses. My PowerMac 6100/60 ran 68K apps slower than my LCII with a 68030-40Mhz accelerator. The original 1st gen 68K emulator was really bad. Connectix became famous for shipping SpeedDoubler, a much better emulator. But my 6100/60 could still barely keep up with the 68030-40Mhz. The emulator performed even worse on the PPC 603.

That could be, I think it was explained to me by an former engineer on Mac OS 8 or so. But there was still 68K asm in there up until Carbon.
