It is AMD, but its name was AmZ8068. It came from the period when AMD believed the Zilog Z8000 family was the way to go (before they changed to 80x86 and long before 29000) and so had a Zilog-like number. I knew my ``AmZ8000 Family Data Book'' (1980 vintage) would come in useful one day :-) Peter Ilieve peter@memex.co.uk
