  I still have some of the 88000 reference manuals, and it was really my first introduction to RISC architecture, and I thought it was great. But I never figured out why companies like Apple never chose it for their CPU?

  An excellent source for this architecture is Mitch Alsup and his Usenet posts going back to the late 1980s (he still posted regularly in the 2020s.)

  The 88k multi-chip cache/MMU architecture is fascinating, especially how it could be designed with a single cache chip, or a split I/D cache across two or more different chips.
