Hmmmm..
A year ago or so, when PMMUs didn't really exist (they were in whatever a
chip designer's equivalent of beta testing is) a friend of mine went to the
US and wanted to get a PMMU. I said, get one for me too. So he wrote Motorola
and said he'd like to have two 68851s. Sure enough, he got them. For free.
They work. They aren't quite release chips but that does not seem to be
a problem.
What else would one want of life?

Disclaimer: This worked a year ago. It certainly won't work today.
            Although you might try...
