My newly dual-headed Atari 520ST system.

I've had this 520STm 4MB color setup for some years now, but recently expanded it, as I had long been wanting to.

I've just added an SM124 (very sharp) monochrome 72Hz 640x400 display (switching between it and the SC1224 RGB display with a MonitorMaster switchbox that I acquired new about 10 years ago for this eventual purpose). I also have just added an ACSI2STM SD card-based HD emulator.

The stand is an A520 STation, which is a fairly rare item (I've never seen another in use).

My code works on 68000 but fails on 68030. I'm pretty sure the issue is that I manually generate exception stack frames and feed them to an RTE instruction, and the format of those stack frames is different on 68030.

I'm too tired to investigate for sure. Mostly, I wonder whether to handle that at compile time (annoying, two binaries), at run time (overhead), or through some clever generated code.
