   You are going to eat your words.  You accused someone else of being 
"stupid", and posted this message that shows that YOU are the stupid one.
The 68070 does exist.  It is an embedded controller based on the 68000,
with on-chip RAM, ROM, and some general-purpose I/O circuitry added. 

   Next time, figure out what someone else is talking about before you
say that they are stupid, or you will end up with pie on your face again.
