BERR on the next clock cycle (case 4).

5.7 ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATION
To achieve clock frequency independence at a system level, the bus can be operated in
an asynchronous manner. Asynchronous bus operation uses the bus handshake signals
to control the transfer of data. The handshake signals are AS, UDS, LDS, DS (MC68008
only), DTACK, BERR, HALT, AVEC (MC68EC000 only), and VPA (only for M6800
peripheral cycles). AS indicates the start of the bus cycle, and UDS, LDS, and DS signal
valid data for a write cycle. After placing the requested data on the data bus (read cycle)
or latching the data (write cycle), the slave device (memory or peripheral) asserts DTACK
to terminate the bus cycle. If no device responds or if the access is invalid, external control
logic asserts BERR, or BERR and HALT, to abort or retry the cycle. Figure 5-31 shows the
use of the bus handshake signals in a fully asynchronous read cycle. Figure 5-32 shows a
fully asynchronous write cycle.
