some cpu had mmu built in .. some had mmu in a co-processor (mmu) chip
i did most of the whacky mmu chips for 6800[0] and 80x86 and Z0[00]
and 2900[0] series cpus ... and all the 1K,2K,4K,16k,64K chips
and 256K was just rolling out when i got out of mmu design
- we had a whole 1MB of dynamic memory when most machines
just had 4-16K of total system memory
- and static memory, comparable to todays memory access
speeds was 1000x too expensive
- nobody liked pagemode back than ... today its nothing but page-mode
access
- nobody liked cache back than too ... today the bigger the cpu cache
the better
- L1, L2, L3 cache
