The number of clock periods shown in this table indicates the time required
to perform the operations, store the results and read the next instruction.
The number of bus read and write cycles is shown in parenthesis as (r/w).
The number of clock periods and the number of read and write cycles must be
added respectively to those of the effective address calculation where 
indicated.

In the following table the headings have the following meanings: 
An = address register operand, Dn = data register operand, ea = an operand
specified by an effective address, and M = memory effective address operand.

notes:	+ Add effective address calculation time
	^ Word or long only
	* Indicates maximum value
       ** The base time of six clock periods is increased to eight		
	  if the effective address mode is register direct or 
	  immediate (effective address time should also be added)
      *** Only available effective address mode is data register direct
	  
	DIVS,DIVU - The divide algorithm used by the MC68000 provides less
		    than 10% difference between the best and the worst case
		    timings.
	MULS,MULU - The multiply algorithm requires 38+2n clocks where
		    n is defined as:
		MULU: n = the number of ones in the <ea>
		MULS: n = concatanate the <ea> with a zero as the LSB;
			  n is the resultant number of 10 or 01 patterns
			  in the 17-bit source; i.e., worst case happens
			  when the source is $5555
