Must have been some sort of Motorola reference design. The Software
Results "Node Box" I mentioned has a DIP 68451, too. We never got
the software that far advanced, so I have a DIP socket, wired to
bypass the MMU. Just drop it in, and the system works without
memory management.

It is listed as obsolete by Motorola because it is _not_ compatible
with the later, and more common, 68851 that was used with the 68020.
