Remember that the 56000 is designed as a Digital Signal Processor. I hardly
think that Motorola intended it as a general purpose 32 bit processor. Thus
I would disagree that its hardware stack limitations are a "flaw".
For speed purposes, I think their internal stack is much faster than an
external stack. As an internal stack, it is therefore more limited in size
than a normal external stack. This speed improvement does more good for DSP
programming than any consideration for high level language support.
