Wrong.  Not *all* 030s and 040s have an MMU.  There are EC versions
of these chips which are pin-for-pin replacements.  The EC030 does
not have an MMU, and the EC040 is missing the FPU and (I believe)
the MMU.

The 68020 could use an external MMU (68551?) and I am not sure what,
if anything, could be done with a 68000/68010.

The differences between an RC020 (full) and the 68EC020 used in the
A1200 are primarily external.  i.e. there are only 24-address lines
instead of 32.  I don't recall if the data bus is different.

Let's get our facts straight!  If you are not sure about something,
you can state it in such a way as to make that clear.  Remember...
some people actually BELIEVE things people write.
