I'm studying the new 68360 (aka QICC(tm)) myself for an embedded
work application.  What an MM/2 this baby would make -- this chip
is LOADED:
        DRAM controller built in
        7 serial channels, including...
                EtherNet!
                Others can be programmed for hi-speed synchronous
                  protocols.
        32 bits (real pins) of data.  Also address.
        Dynamic bus sizing so you can mix up 8 and 16-bit wide stuff
        All the usual bells & whistles of the '340


Only problem -- this chip ain't little, it's a 240-pin quad flat
pack.  But since you can hook those SIMMs right up to it without
a separate DRAM controller...

No wonder Kev Pease never gets tired of designing one-board Moto
computers! --mike k
