Chips that changed the world

Thanks for the link, that was a very interesting read. However, isn't there a mistake in the Motorola 68000 description. Doesn't it use 32-bit addressing and not 24-bit? "The hybrid 16-bit/32-bit MC68000 packed in 68 000 transistors, more than double the number of Intel?s 8086. It had internal 32?bit registers, but a 32-bit bus would have made it prohibitively expensive, so the 68000 used 24-bit address and 16-bit data lines.
