Cirruslvr,

Re: "Has Motorola ever had production problems?

Has their previous process technology been up to par?"

Why don't you ask a "workstation" system designer about the problems
with the Motorolo 68040 CPU. This part had serious design/process
issues that slipped the promised release date by about a year. This
was back about 10-12 years ago when Motorolo was a serious CPU manufacturer.
That CPU cost them "dearly". In regards to the process technology, Motorolo
has gotten much of their process technology from a joint development
agreement with IBM. This is where the Copper Damascene process comes
from.

Make It So,
Yousef
