Here's what I did, study simple code, find out what it does, modify
it, see what your changes do. Be sure to have a good backup file
handy, I've had to reset my calculator countless times while debugging
programs. I have not really used the Motorola PDF much, but I'm sure
that the printed version would come in handy. Otherwise, go to this
url, download the 68000 reference card, and print it out. It helped me
a lot.
