The XT/370 is indeed implemented with a reprogrammed 68000 to execute most
of the instructions, a reprogrammed 8087 for floating point and a more or
less vanilla 68000 (an MC68000R, whatever that is) to glue it all together.

A moderately imformative article appeared in the IBM Systems Journal last
year, volume 23, no 3, pages 245-254.  Order reprint number G321-5222 from
your friendly local IBM brance office.  The XT/370 technical reference
might also be informative.
