Can one skip out-of-order execution, super scalar, etc.. and still run 68060 code?

What are the minimum feature set that has to be implemented? (albeit slow..)


u can run normal 68060 code on 68020.
Or 68020+68881 FPU

And there is no Out-of-order execution in 68060.

There can be multiple CPU lines by multiple manufacturers. You could say it requires N68050+ (The Motorola line was M68k).

That would be very confusing to many "regular Joes".
I don't want to spend time answering emails explaining the cpu naming system.

 Another option would be to specify the ISA like "68kF1+". That is usually what happens with ARM where there are *many* manufacturers and processor names.

That is better than calling it N68050.

Or we could just all it N68070 and be done with it :)

Altho the FPGAReplay guys will have theirs out first so it will be F68070 or R68070 :D
