I was under the impression that some hardware does support it and some does
not. A while back I read one of Apple's technotes that indicated that a
specific piece of hardware did not support RMW bus cycles and you therefore
should not include instruction that would initiate one. I think the
hardware throws a bus error if you try it. If I come accross the note I'll
post a reference to it on the port-mac68k list.
