  Another problem here is that even though the 68000 has 32-bit registers,
it only has a 16-bit ALU.  Therefore, it really can't be called a 32-bit
machine in ANY sense of the word.  The 16032, however, with a full 32-bit
data path internally, is a 32-bit machine with a 16-bit bus.  It's somewhat
like comparing a Z80 and an 8088.  Show me a real 16032/16081 micro and I'll
buy that, but not this trash Apple stuff.
