- As I recall, the '070 is basically a 68010 with a 68451 on the chip.
- The '451 *is* a MMU, but it is a totally different architecture from the
- 68851, 68030, or 68040. This would basically require a *total* rewrite
- of all the MMU code. Perhaps more trouble than it's worth, but it might
- be an interesting project anyway! :)
