They are scheduled to be scanned.
I am far more interested in the continuing polygonization (is that a word?) of the 68K - which I am working on.
Getting the exact internal microcode (note, it is split into two tables to compress it) will be very interesting and reduce the size of the softcores considerably.

Let me know if you have it.
I have the details from the patents, but it's not terribly useful.
With the die scan we can see how the ops are decoded. It's a very neat design, all of the "strangeness" comes out as a result of implementation.
