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)
 * Removed the move template since it is no longer listed on WP:RM. If move is still requested relist on WP:RM. Vegaswikian 06:11, 16 August 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 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 (talk • contribs) 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)
