- dymk 4y agoIt certainly made it easier to wire up :) I would not want to hand-wire a 32 bit databus.
- gbraad 4y agoIt was considered as the 'cheaper' option by Commodore for the Amiga. Luckily they didn't add the prices dropped for the regular 68000 chip. It is only hsndy when considering interfacing with just older 68xx peripheral chips. Note: I did wirewrap the full bus for a 68000 schoolproject, plus the address split for high and low addresses (like an odd/even rom) IIRC.
