Motorola has announced its intention to build the 68050 and beyond but
has not released any substantial product details.  We have publicly 
admitted that we are currently working on two generations of products
beyond the 68040.  

We also intend to continue investment in a broad range of computing 
technology including 88k, DSP, MCUs, and non-conventional processing
elements as well.  Recent press stories hint at other possibilities for 
inclusion into our portfolio.
