 | | The newest member of the 68000 family, the 68040, essentially combines a beefed-up 68030 and the low-level functions of the 68881 floating-point coprocessor onto the same chip. |
 | | Motorola's goal appears to be to make the 68040 as suitable as possible for large-scale multiprocessing systems. |
 | | On the 68040, the only floating-point operations supported are absolute value, add, branch on condition, compare, decrement and branch conditionally, divide, move, move multiple, multiply, negate, nop, restore internal state, save internal state, set on condition, square root, subtract, trap on condition, and test. |
