The 88000 was Motorola's late 1980s 32-bit RISC processor, intended as a
general-purpose successor to the 68000 series. Not particularly
successful, and fairly soon dropped in favour of the PowerPC.
The 88100 is the CPU, and the 88200s are MMU & cache (most likely one for
instructions and one for data).
