Hong Kong To-do:
edit purge
  • Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box".
    • We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.)
  • Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

[edit] Separate 68K article needed

There should be a separate article on the 68k architecture apart from the 68000 chip. It would mirror the way that x86 does not redirect to 8086, and is informative on the family. 132.205.15.5

Good point. And this article is the one, it seems (I take it the above comment was written before this article was established). --Wernher 04:51, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Anyone know of a good 68k simulator for Linux/Gnome? Something like easy68k preferably ;)

Please email me if you do...zephyrxero[at]gmaildotcom --Zephyrxero 20:49, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed move

I'm not the original proposer, but I'd support such a move. JulesH 09:01, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Removed the move template since it is no longer listed on WP:RM. If move is still requested relist on WP:RM. Vegaswikian 06:11, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] who makes 68k chips?

Who makes 68k chips? Now that, you know, Motorola doesn't make chips any more. --68.0.120.35 00:48, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Freescale makes 68k/DragonBall/ColdFire[1] chips (although they're phasing out the 68k-based DragonBalls in favor of ARM-based DragonBalls, it appears). Guy Harris 01:53, 23 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] "Modern" Desktop Computers

I have a problem with this statement: "Although no modern desktop computers are based on the 68k," well, couldn't the Amiga be considered modern? Its last manafacture date is 1994/95 but the computers are still in use today (see the amount of Amiga sites still on the internet -- I can't external link obviously) so doesn't that make it a "modern" machine? How do we define "modern"?
