Here it is:) Motorola tells me that the bug list on the 68010 is zip, null, zero -- and after working with it for years, I believe it. It's a production chip. After close to a year of work with 68020's, the last bug list I saw (August) had three or four things, all minor, and I have every confidence that these will be gone within a few months (if not already). None of these affects user code or compilers. Let me hear you say the same things about National's chips...after canceling a whole product line because they didn't work. PS: Not to run down National; they make great jellybean chips, and their PALs are OK.
