That will indeed be interesting. The Mototola chip that comes closest to the
286/386 with built-in protection is the 68030, and the only machines I know
of that have that chip are Sun's, Apollo's, NeXT's, and Apple's. Not exactly
in the same price range as the Atari [grin]. As the old Chinese curse says,
"May you live in interesting times."
