- What about the 68008, 68012, (non-motorola) 68070, the 683xx series, etc?

- (It probably is imposibly to tell purly in software between the 68010
- and the 68012, since I think the only difference is the number of pins
- wired to the package.)

- I guess one could differentiate between a 68008 and a 68000 if there
- is some kind of timer accessible and check whether the time to read
- bytes and words are about the same -> 68000, words much slower -> 68008.
-
- The 68070 (Signetics) has some status registers that can be examined
- that the other processors don't have. This goes for the 683xx also.
-
- 68012, has anyone seen this beast? ;-) This is a processor I've only
- heard of. Wasn't it made for just one customer?
