The buglist I have shows that MOVSU is in fact fixed in N. I've been told
to plan for Rev N (actually, Rev N5) parts to be used in future shipments
of our hardware as soon as we can get them fully into production. These are
10MHz parts, too, folks-- they do exist, and I've seen them running. They
are significant improvements over G and K, also.

I've gotten an agreement (in principle) to let me post a set of known chip
bugs for the Rev N parts as soon as I can cobble one together. There are a
couple of flakes in it that we've found, but it is significantly improved
over old silicon. And it actually looks like people will see them soon. 

(Gee, I'd sure love to see Motorola admit to the bugs in the 68020 and
publish those... but then, from all I've heard, the 68020 is bug free.
Just like the 32016).

Keep tuned, for further info...
