i960CA doesn't have an MMU. There are models that DO have an MMU.

Back in '92 when I worked with the i960 processor, commercial users
could buy processors with one out of:

        - Super scalar
        - MMU & ???
        - Floating point unit.

US Military could buy any two of those. But 8 years is a lot in
computer-industry.
