That is why I said 68000 style of cpu.
Other than the Freescale (Motorola) Coldfire series, and the Hitachi
HD63000 (which I'm not certain actually shipped), I can't think of any
CPUs that are "68000 style" but not actually members of the M68K family.
If you're talking about the PowerPC, that's certainly not "68000 style"
in any significant sense. There's little similarity beyond both being
big-endian.
