Speaking of following the standards to insure future compatibility, why did
Atari use the $axxx and $fxxx instruction traps.  These are reserved in the
mc68000 and the $fxxx instruction opcodes are used by the mc68020 and mc68030.
This probably explains why the megas come with a 68000 rather than a 68020.
