I'm fairly sure of it, based on microarchitectural details in the US

As the most obvious example of the impedance
mismatch between 370
architecture and 68000 microarchitecture, the 68000 is hardwired to have
eight each data and address registers, not sixteen GPRs, and microcode
can't easily paper over that.
I wouldn't bet on that ...
