Motorola documents them well, so far as I have seen.  Of course you have
to _get_ their documentation.  We have no trouble finding these manuals.
Moto brought us a whole box of 68020, 68030, 68851, and 68881 books.
We _design_ hardware using these parts, so maybe that makes them a little
more eager to give us goodies???  It's usually the sales reps that have
the stuff to give out, so you should look/flame there first.
