The IBM Systems Journal article does not go into great detail but says 
that a complex of three separate processors are used, a modified 68000 
that executes "a large subset of 370 instructions", a standard 68000 to 
emulate the remainder odf the instructions and a modified 8087 to 
execute the floating point.  I am not at liberty to post the document.
