Please note that processor speeds above 16Mhz may actually be the 68HC000 component, which is the 68000 manufactured in HCMOS to allow higher clock speeds. This processor has been used in a huge amount of Amiga models including the very first A1000 right up to the last model to use it, the A600. Although primarily the 8Mhz component was used, higher rate 68000s have been used on several accelerators. The MC68000 does not support an external MMU, or FPU.
The MC68000 was cloned by several manufacturers and these clones can often be found in Amiga's. Processor clones were even installed at the factory. Hitachi and Signetics processors in particular were used instead of Motorola, but Rockwell clones may also have been used.
