I have the issue in question (September, 1986,
according to a
quick search using Google), but since it's packed in a box on the
back wall of a full 10x15 storage locker I'm not going to go look
at the cover just to see if it's green.
It is indeed green, the colour of PCB solder resist. There's
a photo of the 68000 CPU in the 64-pin DIL "aircraft carrier"
package, too. The title is "The 68000 Family", and the
Atari ST, Amiga and Macintosh are shown.
The "68000 Trips and Traps" article is by Mike Morton, on page 163.
Andrew, e-mail me off-list, and we'll arrange something!
