Regarding the MMU, I'd have remembered if I ever saw that. Since I'm looking for the fastest m68k for compiling pkgsrc packages for NetBSD, I'd need an MMU, and I can say for sure I've never seen any mention of working on that.

Considering that a 33 MHz m68040's floating point is unambiguously faster than the floating point of an 800 MHz ARM doing floating point in software, I'd say that software-based floating point isn't all that desirable.
