Yes, you can do anything with a 6502 that can be done with a 68000,
neglecting speed and size constraints. However, this is like saying you
can go anywhere on Earth on foot (or swimming) that you can go by plane.
Sure, both methods will get you where you're going, but its orders of
magnitude faster to do it by plane, and this opens up whole new
opportunities.
As for the relationship between the 68000 and 6502, I've never heard of
_any_. Perhaps you're confusing the 6800 with the 6502? The 6502 would
have been bearable if it had more than 1 general purpose register. As it
was, 95% of your code ended up pushing or popping the accumulator!!!!!!
