hmmm, what happened to the CAS/TAS (and firends) on the m68k ? get
dropped from the '30 or is SMP yet to be ported o m68k anyway ?

I meant "N/A" as in "not applicable" as there does not exist a port to
an m68k SMP platform yet ;-)

It's funny, because the m68k has one of the most advanced atomic
operations of any processor, DCAS.
