<Project CRUSH wasn't vapor.>

It wasn't. Just that Intel showed a lot of vapor to customers to sell its "roadmap" to overcome the perception that 68k could be technologically ahead.

<But it WAS SUCCESSFUL !!!>

Extremely. Trust Motorola to lose a winnable war - typical conglomorate kind of company.

<When was the last time you heard of a Motorola 68xxx or Zilog Z8000 design win ?>

Can't think of a single big one in the 90s.
