The REF1 unit has the 68331 = 68K CPU with Counter/timers, UART, 
baudrate gen, real time clock,
watchdog, address decoders, but no onchip memory. Moto's answer to the 
80186.

And it's got 2 of them, one on the main board and one in the GPS module. 
They are good
for 16 MHz. High perfomance is different, nowadays.
