Where did you come up with your information? Just a minute. I did not say "there is no such part as a 12 MHz 68010". I said "how could a 6 MHz 80286 do as good as a 12 MHz 68010". Someone else (I forget who) said there are no 12 MHz 68010s. Some people on the net, such as Clif Purkiser at intelca, are running down rev news software that doesn't do the "In xxx yyy writes" correctly. If you sense that I'm annoyed at Clif for misquoting me, you're right. > We have been >shipping 12.5 Megahertz parts for over a year now.
