Does anyone have any juicy rumors? > Tom Dimock ------------------------------ Whatever Motorola may be up to, they're keeping it quiet. However, they did just announce a digital signal processor chip (I don't have the number), and will soon anounce (if they have not done so already), a new MMU, the 68851. Of course, improvements to the 68020 and 68881 are sure to come as well. However, any "next generation" chip they may be up to is under wraps at this point.
