However, I remember another message (no longer on this system but somewhere on paper, *sigh*) which talked about the availability of various newer 68000 parts. One was a 68000 memory mangler, and one was a version of the 68000 which preserved enough information internally to be able to handle a true page fault (i.e., one in which context switching can take place while the page fault is being handled). I can find the information on these parts sometime today. As I recall, the part numbers were of the form 68010, 68020, etc, and were going to be available from six months ago to six months from now---therefore what you're looking for may well be available. If anyone wants to look throuh the archives, s/he may hit paydirt looking for the strings "68010" or "FQ 82" or "FQ '82" or something similar. The message was kinda short. Ciao.
