It's worth a read to get a feel of the excitement
the 68K caused back in
the day when it was introduced. Some of it is very funny, there's one
issue where the author compares an Intel FPU to the 68000 running
software floating point routines, and guess what, the 68000 actually ran
FASTER! :-)
Sure, the 8087 was not great, but face it - the 68881 really sucked.
