Motorola 68008
Encyclopedia : M : MO : MOT : Motorola 68008
The Motorola 68008 is an 8/16/32-bit microprocessor made by Motorola from the early 1980s on. It is an 8-bit-external-bus version of the Motorola 68000, and can address 1MB or 4MB of memory (using a 48-pin or 52-pin package, respectively).
The original 48-pin package version was used in the Sinclair QL, to make maximum use of inexpensive 8-bit technology on the motherboard while computing internally with the relatively fast 16/32-bit processing engine.
