>The 960KB has floating point and can be found in a laser printer near you. >In the K series (KA,KB,MC) at least, all the processors were the same die. As was, allegedly, the "extended architecture" version used in the BiiN machines. >As for what the MX/XA has that the CA doesn't, the MX has a hexagonal die >(looks nicer on a keychain) and an extra couple of zeroes in the price. Does it not also have an MMU that at least supports the "protected architecture" and perhaps the "extended architecture" (56-bit segmented address space, capabilities, blah blah blah) version of the 960 architecture?
