I would be willing to bet that it will be an 040.  It would be ridiculous
to jump straight into a new series of chips.  The 040 provides RISC performance
and gives code compatability.  An emulation of a 680x0 chip in the 88000 will
be ridiculously slow.  Commodore will be releasing their 040 stuff when
Motorola finally gets the 040 up to production.
