With reference to the Motorola MC68000 microprocessor unit (MPU):

Refer to the array and storage map drawn in Figure 2A and the list of instructions tabulated in Table 2 and hence, in MC68000 assembler language, write a program to print the contents of an array of data stored in memory. The array (DATA) comprises sixteen (16) items of data, the first item is stored at location $0400100. Assume that a subroutine called PRINT is stored at address $0400180, which will print out a byte of data held in D1 and then return to your program.

Note: $ (dollar) prefixes hexadecimal data, for example $789AB.
