I had a chance to try an Aviion before they were marketed, and noted
that there were compiler switches in the C compiler to generate code to
get around the bugs in the 88k. I believe that there were three chip
revs supported.
I *assume* that before the production model shipped there was a clean
version of the 88k, but I have lost my inside connection, due to someone
offering him $20/hr more to consult elsewhere.
What's the scoop on this chip?
