In response to the request for 88K specs:

the MC88100 has :
	single clock integer, bit field, branch and store operations.
	fifty one instructions and seven operand types.
	four fully independent execution units with 5 concurrent pipes.
	execution synched in hardware by a scoreboard register.
	32 general purpose registers.
	single and double precision IEEE 754 Floating Point compatability.
	full 32-bit combinatorial multiplier.
	separate data and instruction memory ports (Harvard Bus).
	30 bit data address bus (byte strobes select individual bytes).
	32 bit data bus (32 bit word).
	30 bit instruction address bus.
	32 bit instruction bus (fixed 32 bit instruction length).

Yes, it is definitely programmable in Assembler! (see line 2 above)

If you would like further info, Email to me and I will summarize for the
group.
