I missed a few... D11, T11, 68030, HP Saturn, 7811 (if
we're counting

other
650x and 680x chips embedded in things. Can I count
the CPU array chips
in a DAP, please <grin>.
I didn't quite mean that :-) I was just interested to note that some
micros that were once well-known aren't well-represented in your list, or
Allison's, or mine. Only one occurrence of the 9900, no F8, only one
Cosmac, ... Perhaps three people is just too small a sample to show all
of the ones that faded from popularity (and maybe nobody else here is
interested :-)) Not a lot of DSPs either, though of course they're more
"modern".

However, what's surprising about these lists
is not what's there, but
what's missing.
What do you think I should have included? I may just have forgotten I
used it...
