I think you are getting confused with Address size Vs. Data path size. I am not
commenting on any particular system architecture only your comment That a 16
bit cpu wont work on a 32 bit buss. I agree the use of a 16bit buss is the
right thing to do. However I think any architecture that removes any of the
addressing from the system bus and makes it CPU access only is basicly flawed.
Besides you should be using some sort of cache controler to make up the
difference.
