- The instruction was designed to move data to a peripheral. If you used it for
- something else, then your code was not designed according to Motorola specs.
- I think that they found that no one was using it (Mac, Amiga, etc) for its
- intended purpose (because we aren't using 8 bit peripherals), so they dropped
- it to make more room on the chip (my guess).
