Steve, I thought Intel owned the architectures, or at least co-owned them with HP, i.e. Merced, McKinley, etc. Could be wrong. Tony

Re: "DEC and Intel was working on a joint project for a new CPU. Things kinda went bad, Intel came out with the Pentium Pro and DEC sued over the allegations that Intel used some of the DEC technology. (Something like that)" Stevie Blunder, what you fail to mention is the fact that Intel filed more Patent violation claims against DEC than DEC did against Intel and DEC settled with Intel, virtually giving away a large modern Fab (1.5 $Billion?), a development center, product lines, rights to StrongArm, communications devices, PCI-PCI bridges, 64 Bit PCI controllers, Patents and more for a mere $700 Million. A fraction of their value. Intel took DEC to the cleaners but you would never have realized that if I hadn't told you. EP
