SomeNone7115yShould I resolve the riddle already? Hint: nothing to do with Windows, or Microsoft…

SomeNone7115yI guess you're all too young or something,,, on a Commodore Amiga with Kickstart 1.2/1.3, and only chip RAM installed, 0x676 was the base address of ExecBase, pointed to by the only guaranteed fixed address in the OS, 0x4. If you had fast RAM (starting at 0x200000), slow RAM (starting at 0xc00000), or a newer AmigaOS version, ExecBase would be somewhere else (but still the correct pointer would be found at address 0x4).
