some newbie questions

[sebastian ssmoller]

section 6.8.1 in 68360 users manual says 
"second, the MBAR, newly located at address $0003ff04, can only be
enabled for access after a keyed write operation is performed" and later
on there is described that one has to write FFFFFFFE to MBARE before
MBAR could be set. even if that section talks about multiple QUICC
slaves : could this be the problem ?

regards,
seb
