Dear mailing list,
 
Is the rumour that Frank Hayes wrote in Byte (the YAI860A (yet another I860
article)) true that AMD is pulling its 29000 out of the 32-bit market ?
 
If so, it would mean that the most important 32-bit manufacturers at this
moment are: Motorola, Intel, Inmos, MIPS, National, Sun, Intergraph, Acorn, ...,
in descending order of importance.
 
Any comments on the AMD rumour ?
 
Patrick

No, this was an inadvertent typo.  What Frank meant to say was that AMD
has concentrated on targeting the embedded control market, rather than
the Unix Workstation market.  Look for a retraction/clarification in the
next issue of Byte.
