Line 195:
The '''68EC020''' is a lower cost version of the Motorola 68020. The main difference between the two is that the 68EC020 only has a 24-bit address bus, rather than the 32-bit address bus of the full 68020, and thus is only able to address 16 MB of memory.
 
The [[Amiga 1200]] computer and the [[Amiga CD32]] game console use the cost-reduced 68EC020; the [[Namco System 22]] and, [[Taito F3 System|Taito F3]] and [[Konami GX]] arcade boards also used this processor. The [[Atari]] Jaguar II prototype also featured this to replace the 68000 of the original [[Atari Jaguar]] console. It also found use in laser printers. Apple used it in the LaserWriter IIɴᴛx. Kodak used it in the Ektaplus 7016PS, and Dataproducts used it in the LZR 1260.
 
In 2014, [[Rochester Electronics]] has re-established manufacturing capability for the 68020 microprocessor and it is still available today.
