Yeah, the 68020 is on the skids, too.  Compare and contrast the market share
of the iAPX86 against the 680xx chip set.  :-)

Seriously, though.  Just because the 320xx isn't appearing in the computers
that *you* are interested in doesn't mean that they aren't being used.

I would suggest that contrary to NSC's publicity, the 320xx series is not a
competitor against the 68020, and I don't think we'll see it popping up in
high-performance workstations.

The 320xx's strength is its extremely low cost, especially for the full
chip set with FPU and MMU.  For this reason, it's been designed into a number
of add-in boards for PCs.  I'm pretty sure that in this market alone, they've
shipped more 320xx's than Mot has shipped '020s in all markets combined.

[Disclaimer:  I worked with 320xx's when I worked for Terak.  Here, I work
on super-fast 68010-compatible machines (1 clock per instruction).  All
things considered, I'd rather you forget the 320xx and 68020 and buy one
of ours :-)  ].
