I think the *main* thing that I need to get my head around when using the
68000 pod is that....

If I read 0 > xxxx I get the low (or high ?) 8 bits of the 16 bit data
bus.. (0 > xxxx)
and
If I read 1 > xxxx +1 , I get the other 8 bits of the 16 bit data bus.. ( 0
> xxxx)

Is that right ? - am I understanding this correctly ? or do I need to double
the xxxx value to take care of the step of 2 ? (or am I just generally going
nuts ?)

Cheers, Colin
