- Just a warning: if you're wanting a proper description of the instruction
- set, don't bother getting the 68xxx processor user manuals that APDA are
- selling. Earlier editions of these did indeed contain full details on
- instruction sets, but all you get now are summaries.
-
- All the instruction set details for the 68xxx CPUs, the 68851 MMU and the
- 68881/68882 FPUs have been collected into a new manual, called the "M68000
- Family Programmer's Reference Manual", Motorola part number M68000PM/AD. I
- suggested to APDA some time ago that they should carry this manual, but I
- haven't seen any sign that they're doing so yet.
