It was thus said that the Great woodelf once stated:
All this red herring's is about the data path.
The address calculations are done 32 bits rather than
intel's segment offset 16 bit hack. The real cry is you don't
have 32 bit direct addressing[2] on the 68000 so it is not 32bits.
What could use it today as modern[1] OS's don't have static addressing
anymore?
What do you mean by 32-bit direct addressing? The 68000 has a 32-bit
absolute address mode. Okay, it only supports 16 bit offsets from a
register (A* or PC). I'm not sure I follow your argument here.
[1]Something after the 70's not running Fortran.
[2]pointer indirect is normal array accessing, not static.
I don't understand what you are saying here.
