That way, it won't matter so much which architecture "wins" (except to MIPS and Moto), which was most definitely NOT the case in the 68k vx. x86 conflict. The 88k and the Rx000 both are CPUs that I can use without holding my nose. ____"Congress shall have the power to prohibit speech offensive to Congress"____ Alan Lovejoy; alan@pdn; 813-530-2211; AT&T Paradyne: 8550 Ulmerton, Largo, FL.
