[comp.arch] 68020-Cache-Question

top@tub.UUCP (04/11/87)

I have a question for all 68020-insiders:

How many external bus accesses does a 68020 make running such loop:

    LOOP: bra LOOP

Our MC68020 did following:

One (1) cache cycle, One (1) external bus cycle.
Do *YOU* know why ?

I forgot: "program" address was 0x300000, we found it using
an Oscilloscope (no software-timing-guesses).

If you have any ideas just let me know. If you respond in E-mail,
you may answer in German (if you wish ;-)

Thanks!
