  Nope, M68060 (not MC!) is Signetics (Philips) embedded microcontroller
which has 68000 instruction set core, with two async ports, 2 DMA channels,
two timers and (surprise!) segmented MMU!  (I should verify these features,
but my databook of that processor is at home..)

Execution timings are not those of MC68000, thus a tuned optimizer could
be considered -- it is slower on some common operations, than original 68k.

  It was developed for some Philips CD-player, and was very late..
