Harumph...the latest chip announcements from Motorola include (more or less): - a 68040 with the MMU and FPU disabled - a 68030 with the MMU disabled - cheaper/faster/better 68020s and 68000s (no FPU or MMU to disable) What's the price of the cheapest Moto chip to include an MMU (68030)? -- Jerry Callen jcallen@encore.com
