Hi.  I'm interested in how to detect the processor type (MC68000,
MC68010, or whatever) in a user mode program (in assembler language, of
course).  I realize that I could execute one of the new instructions
and see if I get trapped, but that doesn't sound too efficient
(especially since I'm thinking about using this in some library
subroutines).  I don't have a MC68010 manual right now, so this might
be an RTFM question; sorry if it is.

Thanks in advance, as they say...

				Happy hacking!
