The 68K is state of the art, and the only reason the 8088 still can be used in the same paragraph without too many giggles is because of the IBM-PC. The 16K is somewhat more advanced than the state of the art(in micros). jbf -- Reachable as ....allegra![rayssd,rlgvax]!ccieng5!jbf Or just address to 'native of the night' and trust in the forces of evil.
