With comp.sys.intel now offcially formed I would like to see if there
is suffcient interrest out there to keep it going.

My interest in this group will be to persue discussions on the advanced 
(no flames yet please) architectures that Intel is selling (ie. 286,386,
586, and 786).  With the focus towards technical discussions of applications,
implementation questions and problems, and a responsible discussion of the 
architectural features with an emphasis toward what enhancements should
be done on the 486 and beyond (68020 and vax compatibility have already 
been suggested).

What I hope that this group does not become is a flaming ground for 68K
fanatics to expound the Motorola propaganda, or as the standard cross
posting catagory for comp.sys.ibm.pc.  Questions regarding the programming
and problems with the pc hopefully will stay in the pc catagory.

Just a note to introduce myself.  I am the architecture specialist for 
Northern California and Northern Nevada.  I reside in Silicon Valley next
door to the Intel factory so I have quick access to factory types to act 
as backup for any technical questions that are thrown up on the net.  I
hope this group will be useful and I am looking forward to following it
in the future.
