Phillips is *NOT* a "second source" of either 88K-based Delta systems nor of the 88000 family of chips. They are an OEM customer of Motorola who (it was recently announced) buy 88K systems from Motorola Microcomputer Division and resell them in Europe under their own label. They do the same with 68K based systems and have done so for quite some time. There are no currently announced second sources of 88K chips of which i'm aware. -- [ Michael Bodine, michael@chg.mcd.mot.com, Dial: (708) 576-7840, FAX: x8875 ] [ Motorola MCD; Loc IL38; 1100 Woodfield; Suite 334; Schaumburg, Il 60173 ]
