I'm not sure of the other details, but "EC" = "Embedded Control", as you
say. According to my Motorola cribsheet, it's a 68020 with only 24-bit
addressing, without the dynamic bus sizing, ands restricted speed range.
It does have the co-pro interface, though, and probably most if not all of
the instruction set (the crib sheet doesn't get very detailed).
