Konrad - Re: "The Motorola folks never found a good balance between the two for the PowerPC project, no?" They didn't have to - Apple Computer, the only significant user of the PowerPC (other than IBM), did a superb job of emulating 68K code on a PowerPC, thereby permitting much (not all) of the older 68K based Mac Software to run on the Power Macs. IBM, another PowerPC user (they originated the instruction set) - uses the PowerPC in their newer RS6000 line of machines. The basic PowerPC instruction set is compatible with most of the original RS6000 Risc chips (RIOS) - so most software for IBM workstations was easily implemented on PowerPC based workstations running AIX.
