PDP-11, m68k – to name a few, did not allow misaligned access to anything that was not a byte.

Neither are RISC nor modern.

In regards to 68000 I don't remember, only used it during demoscene coding parties when allowed to touch Amiga from my friends.

I have only seen PDP-11 Assembly snippets in UNIX related books, wasn't aware of its alignment requirements.
