Perhaps I am mistaken, but my local Motorola Field Engrs told me that the '030 will not be in production until the first of the year. They claimed that the first sampling was scheduled for end of summer. This would seem to say that '030 systems will not really be showing up until late next spring; there is no telling where 80386 (and its offspring) will be by then.. As for showing up in new industry iron, I thought Sun went with their Sparc RISC chip (with promises to upgrade the existing Sun-3 line to 68030 "sometime in the future"), and Apollo was going AMD29000 - thus just jumping ahead to Supercomputing workstations rather than bothering about the next incremental speed change in 680?0.
