It has a 68000 core, a 32 bit (source and destination) DMA, three timers, some parallel I/O lines, three full duplex serial channels, 1152 bytes of on-board ram, DRAM refresh counter, etc. It comes in a 132 pin grid array and ceramic and plastic flat packs. Can run at 16.67 MHZ. Anyway, it looked like it might be possible (with an adaptor board) to fit this beast into a 68000 socket. If it could be "fit" in, could we end up with 500's, 1000's and vanilla 2000's with 4 serial channels, and full DMA? (And I'm sure clever uses could be found for the timers RAM, I/O, etc. also.) If I had the time I might try it myself, but work and school take up
