Okay. I figured 010 and 020 chips existed, but didn't know at the time if Apple had actually used them. It was late, and I didn't bother to check. Sorry. Trying to make the point about 68k's and PPC's being different lines of chips (as opposed to the Pentiums, which are just a continuation of the 80x86 line. Intel gave the chips a brand name because the courts said it couldn't trademark numbers like "486".) -- http://www.zirconia3.com "If he thought he could fly, why didn't he take off from the ground first?" --Bill Hicks(1961-94) -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
