Memory management aside, it's pretty ridiculous claiming that the 80286,
with a mere 16 bit data bus, can do as well as or better than the 68020,
which has a full 32 bit bus.  The fact that the 80286 can be obtained in a
16Mhz version doesn't change these facts. (I believe that the 68020 is avail-
able in a 20- or even 24- Mhz model, if it's clock speed you want to compare.)
It's pretty senseless comparing the two because of this, even though the
68020 came out only shortly after the Intel chip.
