(go find someone wiht a Mac plus runnins system 6.0.8 for a demo) And the chip has more than acceptable math capabilitys, or you could put a math co into the system. Also the 68000 will support 16 megs of ram. The biggest fault wiht the 68000 is the lack of the MMU. But that can be coded around. Well enough of my spewing about the 68000.......... Motorola is, lets be honest, the absolute Gods of the FPU.. My power book 1400 at 183mhz has over 3 times the FPU performance of my desktop Cyrix Pr200. The problem with chips like the 68000, unless some company decides to make a mobile version, aren't we outta luck? Although I do think an '030 or '040 running MacBSD could be a pretty kickin' system. -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.ml.org
