The Motorola 68000 series was allegedly designed partly with C in
mind.
I was told this too.  However, having taught both M68000 Assembler
and C I have my doubts.

The legend was that C was influenced by PDP-11 assembler. Don't know how true it is.


C came from B which came from BCPL;  B and BCPL predate the PDP-11.
