/* Microcode */
== Microcode ==
Whereas the Z80 and the 6502 CPUs use an hardwired control unita Decode ROM (PLA), the 68000 uses microcode instead.
To execute a machine instruction, the computer internally executes several simpler micro-instructions, specified by the microcode. In other words, microcode forms another layer between the machine instructions and the hardware.
