I heard Commodore dropped the project when they found out what the 68040 would do. And it's just as well; the T800's 10 MIPS and 2 MFLOPS don't stack up to the 68040's 15+ MIPS and 3.5 MFLOPS, and you get to run all your old programs that fast too. Perhaps, but weren't the T800s additive in nature. I thought I heard of a 4 (or was it 8) processor Amiga system that was supposedly capable of 120 MIPS. -- ==================================================================== David Masterson Consilium, Inc. uunet!cimshop!davidm Mtn.
