So why not the MacSPARC? Tektronix can fit the 88000 on a NuBus card because the cache and MMU is integrated on the module. A SPARC couldn't fit, though I think Sun is working on cache and MMU support now. Of course Clipper originated the module with integrated CAMMU, and it's shipping in volume. (No commercial: You can't buy a Clipper Mac board - only PC-AT, UNIX, and bad old MS-DOS :-) Sigh :-( -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My opinions are my own.
