Stupid lusers...

I got a 68010 chip today...
On a visit to my pile at SSI, I saw a sadly disfigured rack out back. Went
to have a look at it. It was a PBX, based off a PDP-8 and some custom boards.
The top part of the rack, the 8, and most of those custom boards were completely
destroyed. Seems the cleaning morons, when told to move the rack elsewhere,
decided to pitch it in the trash compactor. Rack proved stronger than
trash compactor, and they gave up, picked it out of the compactor, and left.
The 8 is now a mini-mini computer. It's too damaged to deal with. I pried
the lid off and looked inside, the backplane was demolished, and the cards were
mashed to 1/2 height. I couldn't even remove them from the case.
Good thing is, the custom boards were the intersting parts. I got a 68010
chip and some miscellaneous socketed chips. There was a few Texas Instruments
boards, those were trash. Split in half. I picked at it for awhile, stole the
ROMs and some ribbon cables, and left it.
Anyway, What's a 68010 do? Anyone have pinouts/assembler refrences/etc?
Can I make it do something interesting?
