	"I seem to recall that there are some known bugs with the

	and maybe some work arounds for them?"

Motorola maintains a list like this for each version of the silicon.
You should be able to get it from a Motorola rep.

The only bug I know of that isn't on the list is that the CPU begins to
execute spurious "xmem.bu 0,r0,0" (opcode 0) instructions when you turn
on the serialization bit in the PSR.  Annoying.  The Austin factory is
supposed to get back to us "any day now" with news about a workaround
and eventual fix.
