Hay, Arnold,
MC 68K was created in 1980 or thereabouts. We talked about 10's
of Megahertz, I think, in those times. I was involved (slightly) with
the Zilog Z80,000 which would have competed with the 68K, NS32K and the
Intel 80386. ...
The 1980's were a very interesting time in
Silicon Valley.
One of the saddest stories I recall is when "Eagle Computer" went
public. The CEO died on the IPO day after he had become a very rich
person when he crashed a Ferrari during a test drive. Eagle Computer
died with the CEO.
Did "eagle" not make an 68k emulation in bit slices? Am I mixing them up
with another company?
