Talk:Motorola 68000 series/Archives/2011


Separate 68K article needed

There should be a separate article on the 68k architecture apart from the 68000 chip. It would mirror the way that x86 does not redirect to 8086, and is informative on the family. 132.205.15.5

Good point. And this article is the one, it seems (I take it the above comment was written before this article was established). --Wernher 04:51, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Anyone know of a good 68k simulator for Linux/Gnome? Something like easy68k preferably ;)

Please email me if you do...zephyrxero[at]gmaildotcom --Zephyrxero 20:49, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Proposed move

I'm not the original proposer, but I'd support such a move. JulesH 09:01, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

who makes 68k chips?

Who makes 68k chips? Now that, you know, Motorola doesn't make chips any more. --68.0.120.35 00:48, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Freescale makes 68k/DragonBall/ColdFire[1] chips (although they're phasing out the 68k-based DragonBalls in favor of ARM-based DragonBalls, it appears). Guy Harris 01:53, 23 February 2007 (UTC)


Possible independent implementation of a new 68k cpu

There is ongoing discussion at the NATAMI project to design and build an improved (4th generation?) 68k compatible CPU. At this moment there is already a design draft which they call 68070 (or N70?). More on the Natami Forums. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Madf (talkcontribs) 20:40, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Efficiency section

What on Earth is this? As well as flying in the face of every standard benchmark (least of which is VAX MIPS), it references a semi-lucid chess page as a source? How the hell is this encylcopedic content? It's not right, it's not accurate, hell it's not even relevant! Wayne Hardman (talk) 02:57, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, deleted. Kufat (talk) 01:01, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
