SUMMARY
A &quot;Hardware environment conflict&quot; error message displays at run time if an application is compiled with the &quot;Generate 68020 Code&quot; and/or &quot;Generate 68881 Code&quot; compile options and then run on a Macintosh other than a Macintosh II.

The &quot;Generate 68020 Code&quot; option produces instruction codes that are specific to the 68020 processor. The 68020 chip is the next- generation microprocessor in the 68000 family.

The 68881 chip is a math coprocessor. For programs that perform floating-point arithmetic, the &quot;Generate 68881 Code&quot; option will enhance the speed of execution. If the program primarily uses integer arithmetic, this option will not improve program performance.
