Here are a few basic questions regarding the 88000.

Q1: How does the 88000 handle interrupts? the sparc architecture helps
reduce the overhead for critical interrupts by reserving a register window for
trap handling. What about M88000?

Q2: What precautions are need to interface to a standard bus eg VME? Is this
bus (VME) the best option?

Leads/tips/hints etc are welcome
