- Boots in realmode (?!!), has a 64bit Databus, a 64bit Adressbus does not
- make any sence for this kind of uP. (Could be, I have now information
- about that.) 8 bit internal would be a bit ridicolous.

- > other x86 ??? Does it include a 386 unit as planed earlier ??? Is it any
-
- No information about that, but I guess no (they say it should be compatible
- to earlier versions in spite of 64bit databus.)

- processors?" ;-)

- Probably a very lot! ;-)

- Since you live in Germany, i suggest you buying the December issue of c't.
- Read the article starting on page 40. (on page 20 you will find something
- about the 68060).
