Hello,

     As everyone has been so fond of telling me that the 68070 doesn't exist.
Well all I can say is 'DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!'.  The Signetics 68070 is *NOT* one
in the series of 68x00.  It is rather a take off from the 68000 chip.  It
Has a few extra I/O nick-nacks.  As someone else has said, "It is a 68000 with
a serial port."  So please be sure that you know what you are talking about
before mailing me and telling me it is a pipe dream or other such nonsense.
I thought this subject had been covered thoroughly on USENET.
     If someone wants to throw their two-cents worth in about the 68070 please
feel free.  If you have more detailed information about the chip don't
hesitate with that either as I don't have information in front of me at this
moment.
