Untrue, Atari and Commodore still sell 6502-based systems, and Commodore is in the PClone business. You could argue that the 68000 machines are more weakly marketed in either Atari or Commodore's case, though, but I don't want to start doing that here on info-apple. I won't even mention the IBM RT RISC coprocessor stuff. the c-128 even has CP/M capability, so Commodore supports about 4 processors these days. -- - Ralph W.
