If you look in /usr/include/apollo_$std.h, you'll find that the symbol m68000
is defined.  If you look at the file /sys/ins/error.ins.pas in SR10, you'll
also see that Apollo uses the symbols isp_$m68k and isp_$a88k to differentitate
between the two architectures.

The PRISM architecture is indeed big-endian; since Apollo is firmly committed
to binary compaitibility of data files, it would be very hard to change this in
future architectures without losing that binary compatibility.
