Thanks for your insights, and for clarifying (I primarily linked to the article for its comments, which seemed to contain a collection of interesting historical tidbits.) Again as someone who somehow never got to touch 68k during its day, the level of creativity required in 68000 MM, and the internal state spilling of the 68010 and later, really got me curious (x86 of course always had plenty of curious quirks, but I think I'm too familiar with them at this point %) ). I'd also still love to read more about the details of the two-68000 design, but everything I could find so far was essentially folklore.
