It really angers many people to see blind statements such as yours about the
68020 'blowing the socks off the '286'...  In case you hadn't been reading
the trade journals.  AMD has recently been shipping 16Mhz versions of the
80286 which incidently contains, on the chip, memory management capabilities.
Something that the 68020 MUST go off chip for, namely, the 68851 MMU.  I
believe most net readers would appreciate documented numbers, BEFORE you
make any more of these irritable BLIND statements.
