Why would the 68332 be uncrackable?  AFAIK, it contains no ROM (other
than the TPU ROM).  Thus there is nothing to crack.

On the other hand, a newer chip with onboard ROM/FLASH and no external
bus would be uncrackable in the conventional reverse engineering sense. 
Cracking would require finding security holes in the communications
protocols, or by attacking the chip with an electron microscope and so on.
