 This appendix provides a glossary of some of the terms, symbols, and expressions used in this book
The 68000 is able to perform operations on longwords (that is, it is a 32-bit computer).
A 68000 instruction is indivisible in the sense that it cannot be interrupted by either a hardware or a software exception until after it has been executed.
The 68000 reads the interrupt vector number, multiplies it by four, and uses the result to index into a table of interrupt vectors in the 256-longword region of memory 00000016 to 0003FF16.

 MOTOROLA 68000 - Definition
The 68000 was used in many workstations, notably early Sun-2 machines, and personal computers, notably Apple Computer's first Macintoshes and the Amiga.
Variants of the 68000 include the 68HC000 (a low-power HCMOS implementation) and the 68008 (an eight-bit data bus version used in the Sinclair QL).
The Zilog Z8000 and 68000 are similar in capabilities, but the 68000 is 32 bits internally, making it faster and eliminating forced segmentations.

 Meet The 68000
Although the 68000 has a 16-bit data bus, meaning that 2 bytes of information can be accessed in one machine cycle, internally it can operate on five different types of data: bits, 4-bit binary coded decimal (BCD), 8-bit bytes (B), 16-bit words (W), and 32-bit long words (L).
The last register in the 68000 is the 16-bit status register, which is divided into two 8-bit bytes.
The 68000 microprocessor may be capable of addressing 16 mega-bytes of memory, but, of the two announced ST models, the 130ST ($399) will contain only 128K of RAM and the top-line 520ST ($599) will have 512K.

 DTACK GROUNDED #3 -- September/October 1981
Once the 68000 has been loaded and the flag byte cleared other BASIC programs can be loaded and run without any modification; the use of the 68000 to perform the math is completely transparent to the user and to the BASIC program.
Beginning to work with the 68000 is a smart move at this time for a software house.
By examining the 68000 run time for the first three test programs, it is obvious that there is a certain amount of overhead associated with the BASIC interpreter independent of the mathematical process itself.

 68000 Exceptions and Interrupts
They were built into the 68000 architecture to-believe it or not-help make it "bomb proof." A casual user can be locked out of hardware access and be prevented from damaging the system, either accidentally or deliberately.
A TRAP is a 68000 instruction which deliberately generates an exception.
The answer lies in the fact that the 68000 performs all its interrupts in supervisor mode, and exceptions are nothing but fancy user-called interrupts.

 Instruction Set for the 68k
There are 56 basic types in the 68000 instruction set.
While the 68000 is a CISC processor, it shares many of the characteristics of its RISC counterparts including fixed length instructions and a small instruction set.
There are no special instructions for I/O interfacing as the 68K uses memory mapped I/O. This is an example of the ADD instruction for the 68000.

 DTACK GROUNDED #5 -- December 1981
Command 07 moves bytes to the 68000 from the host, 08 moves bytes from the 68000 to the host, 02 causes the 68000 to go to a location and begin executing code, and 09 transfers small code patches, which is useful for debugging and general code development.
THE 68000 IS A REALLY NEAT DEVICE #1: We did not mention this in the earlier writeup on inverting a matrix, but that double precision FP multiply is an outstanding example of the large register space of the 68000.
Command 09 requires a 3 byte address, a one byte number which specifies the number of bytes to be sent to the 68000, then the needed code.

 DTACK GROUNDED #23 -- September 1983
We pointed out the irony of the fact that we are offering a very fast 68000 board with a full megabyte of RAM for the Apple II computer, of which there are nearly a million in the field, but that we were not selling large numbers of boards because we have little software to offer.
The 68000 is a better match but the PDP-11 is best.
A year ago the prevailing view was that the 68000 was such a fast device that operating systems could be written in interpreted p-code.

 68k - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Motorola 680x0/0x0/m68k/68k/68K family of CISC microprocessor CPU chips were 32-bit from the start, and were the primary competition for the Intel x86 family of chips.
Had Motorola decided to stick with the 680x0 series, it is very likely that the next processor (68080) would have resembled Intel's P6 architecture.
Since these desktops are now more than a decade old, the original manufacturers are either out of business, or no longer provide an operating system for the hardware; however, the Debian, NetBSD and OpenBSD operating systems are still supported for m68k processors.
