There has been a lot of talk lately about the 68020.  I understand
that it is suppose to be a "complete" 32-bit implementation with
many new insturctions.  Also it is suppose to have an automatic
coprocessor interface and an on-chip instruction cache.  Could
somebody please post a detailed description inlcuding the following:

	1.  How many bits is the data bus?
	
	2.  How many bits is the address bus?
	
	3.  Can the ALU handle 32-bit operands?
	
	4.  How will it be packaged?
	
	5.  What will its maximum clock speed be?
	
	6.  When will it be available?
	
	7.  Any other important facts.
	
	
Thanks for reading.
