     The Signetics 68070 is a new part being sampled now and available in
quantity later this year.  It's a CMOS implementation of the Motorola
M68010 with an MMU on-chip, designed to require very few support chips.
Designed by Phillips for their interactive compact disk player, it is
intended for low-cost high-volume consumer applications.

     Might be a way to provide an affordable upgrade path for the C-64 users.
