Does the 68030 have a built in POST? The 80386 does, and it's documented. I am writing a spec for an embedded 68030 system's firmware, and it would be kind of nice to use a built in POST on both the 68030 and 68882 if such animals exist. An ancillary comment on the Motorola docs... For a 1000+ page manual, the 68030 manual doesn't seem to have as much info as the Intel manuals do. Nothing personal, Motorola, but I have had to resort to the net.people for a lot of info (such as this, and such as going virtual), when if we were going with Intel, I could just RTFM. Don't get me wrong, I think the chip and its architecture are great, its just the docs leave something to be desired. Or is there another manual besides the CPU Tech manual? Another silly question, is there an exchange memory/register instruction? I found exchange two registers, but not mem/reg. aTdHvAaNnKcSe Scott -- Scott "The Pseudo-Hacker" Neugroschl UUCP: ...!sm.unisys.com!csun!csuna.csun.edu!abcscnge -- unless explicitly stated above, this article not for use by rec.humor.funny -- Disclaimers?
