Motorola 68060
processor
A 32-bit microprocessor from Motorola, the successor to the Motorola 68040. The 68060 is the highest performance 680×0 family processor currently (April 1995) available. It has 2 to 3 times the performance of the 68040.
The 68060 is probably the last development from Motorola in the high performacnce 680×0 series. They don’t want to compete with their own PowerPC chips. The 680×0 series is intended more for embedded systems, where it is already very popular. New developments here seem to integrate more peripheral functions on chip rather than increasing processing power.

(MC6809) An eight-bit microprocessor from Motorola, Inc. The 6809 was a major advance over both its predecessor, the Motorola 6800 and also over the 6502. The 6809 had two 8-bit accumulators, rather than one in the 6502, and could combine them into a single 16-bit register. It also featured two index registers and two stack […]

processor A microcontroller family from Motorola descended from the Motorola 6800 microprocessor. The 68HC11 devices are more powerful and more expensive than the 68HC05 family. FAQ (ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/usenet/usenet-by-group/comp.answers/microcontroller-faq/68hc11). There is an opcode simulator for the 68HC11, by Ted Dunning [email protected]. Interrupts, hardware I/O, and half carries are still outside the loop. Adding interrupts may require simulating […]
