The companies are below: For some time ago I used a board (I think it was from Motorola) called VME134/68020. I found some bugs in it: the dissassembler failed on some complex instructions although the board could still execute them. There was something worse: an instruction like "MOVE.L A6,16(SP)" was not executed. It was a board error since the a SUN could execute it. I've heard the they do not produce it anymore (hopefully). -- ________________________________________________________________________| Luis Barriga The Royal Institute of Technology | Dep.
