Meanwhile, in that same box, the disk controller had a Z80 on it. (I am *so* sorry I didn't go back and snag that system after we (the employees) left en masse due to not having been paid for several months.) In the early '80s, I felt rather strongly that the ideal system would be based on a z8000 (or 80x86 if you must) for number crunching and general processing and a 68000 for graphics and interface stuff. Put in two processors and let 'em do what they're best at. Still feel the same, only these days its the '586/'060 combo (or whatever the latest is). --------------------------------------------------------------------- O- Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad roger(a)sinasohn.com that none but madmen know."
