Google search string may be "68000 schematics", and it will point to the 
first link
of "68k Single Board Comupter" from "....ac.th" which hides the 
interesting part
in a CPLD, but the second link will lead to a detailed PDF
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~theom/electronics/has/ha68ksys.pdf
which describes the stuff.

Basically, you can derive the relation of UDS, LDS, R/W, AS and DTACK 
from the
data sheet, for interfacing RAM the trick part is just the generation of 
DTACK;
as long as CPU clock and RAM access time is known, it is a straight forward
wait state circuit.
