Re: "Dr Saeed, It was just 6-9 months ago that Motorolo was trying to decide within their company whether they would stay in the IC process development "game"."

A source for this information?

Yousef - Re: "just mention the 68040 CPU and watch his
"eyes bulge and veins pop-out".

Remember Motorola's 68040 PRE-ANNOUNCEMENT - to UPSTAGE Intel's 80486 announcement?

I think that was March or April, 1989. Moto announced the 68040 one month before Intel announced the 486.

Of course, Intel shipped the 486 just after the announcement - and Moto shipped the 68040 .... 18 months later !!!
