A slight correction:

AM29000
	AMD's 32 bit microprocessor.  It really screams.  Burst and
tight loop operation is better than a CRAY XMP/4.  Normal operation is
equivalent to 3-5 X 25MHz 68020.  It has an MMU, Branch-target cache,
and 192 registers built in.

CLIPPER
	A joke.

Really, I didn't mean to bring up the discussion of the Am29000 here,
since it is not the right news group for it.  Any further discussion or
questions should be emailed to me (or check out comp.arch).  Let's get
on with the discussion of *current* Amigas!
