So I'm take a Computer Architecture and we just went over the the MIPS single cycle and multi cycle datapath.

Now, I'm curious to know if there is somewhere out there a 68K datapath diagram. I've been looking on google for it but had no luck.
Does anyone have this by chance?

I'm out of luck trying to find the datapath myself. I talked over the idea of drawing the Motorola 68k processor in IRC, but Gerbilsoft said it would take forever- start smaller. I'd be cool with working on diagramming the datapath in Logisim, but right now I just want to try my hand with diagramming the Z80 first. Even the Z80 is a lot harder to illustrate than the LC3 (it's designed just for the purposes of teaching computer hardware, so I guess it makes sense). I currently own a textbook about the Motorola 68k that I got for $8 on amazon, and I can share some information in PM if you think it will help.

By the way, I just found a diagram Nemesis posted in another forum last year. This might help you figure out the datapath, and there is some microcode in the conversation to help you on your way.
