Paul,

I'm not arguing whether Intel won for a good reason or not.. Time to market is very important in the high-tech industry and you will never get an argument there.. I was only saying "IF" (and yes that's a big if) the 68000 had been where we started I personally feel we would have been better off.. hell if Intel had really planned on the 8086 being followed on like this we would be a lot better off, but no one at the time expect the IBM PC to really take off like it did, including IBM by their own admission.

Steve

Paul,

Motorola took a long time to debug it and get it to work.

I think Moto is still debugging the 68040.

One of the principle benefits of the IBM Power PC relationship was that IBM taught Moto a workable methodology for designing and debugging chips.
