The book "The Motorola MC68020 and MC68030 Microprocessor", By Thomas L.
Harman has been a great help. It discusses coding procedures,
interfacing and design with the MC68020 and MC68030.

I purchased this book from Avocet systems phone no. 1-207-236-9055 or
1-800-448-8500.

The data book MC68020 User's Manual is available from your local
Motorola rep. Try calling 1-800-521-6274 for information.

Good luck and post any other good references.
