Motorola MVME5100 Programmer's Reference Manual page 9

A character precedes a data or address parameter to specify the numeric format, as follows
(if not specified, the format is hexadecimal):
An asterisk (#) following a signal name for signals that are level significant denotes that the
signal is true or valid when the signal is low.
An asterisk (#) following a signal name for signals that are edge significant denotes that
the#actions initiated by that signal occur on high to low transition.
In this manual, assertion and negation are used to specify forcing a signal to a particular
state. In particular, assertion and assert refer to a signal that is active or true; negation and
negate indicate a signal that is inactive or false. These terms are used independently of the
voltage level (high or low) that they represent.
Data and address sizes are defined as follows:

0x Specifies a hexadecimal number
% Specifies a binary number
& Specifies a decimal number
8 bits, numbered 0 through 7, with bit 0 being the least significant.

32 bits, numbered 0 through 31, with bit 0 being the least significant.
