Shure ? I had to go thru the same kind of decision,
and I
learned to love the 186 - shure, one needs a little push
to start, but later on it's just great - eventualy the best
_sixteen_ bit CPU around. If you look at the 8080/5, Z80,
8086 and 80186 family, the 186 is the finest of all.
I would probably prefer the V30 which had the 186 instruction
set, but the 8086 pinout.
Sleak and simple - compared the 68K looks quite
bloaded
and clumpsy (ok, it's 32 bit, but still the most compared
competition at it's time).
Do I hear another war starting? According to most sane people,
and Motorola, the 68K is a 16 bit processor.
