Re: A89: number of bits in the 68k :)




>What i heard is that it is 16-bit but with some 32 bit abilities..

The 68k has 32-bit registers and instructions, but can't do 32-bit math.
Here's a selection from one of my ECE text books:

The architecture specifies 32-bit registers, though early implementations
[the 68000] did not generally support 32-bit operations.
