Was the MacSE a 68000?
Yes. I still is.
The SE was a 68020 actually. It integrated the 68000 and the L1 I cache, MMU, FPU and a full 32 bit address bus. It also was available in faster clock speeds than the original 68000 and 68008 parts.
Interesting, Wikipedia claims it was the 68000. I distinctly remember SE motherboards with 68020s on them. I wonder if they switched CPUs in the middle to get a cheaper and smaller SE. The SE/30 had software differences and needed a different System software. The 68020 looked like a 68000 with the support chips. The 68030 looked different to software. -- Greg Weeks http://durendal.org:8080/greg/
