If only a few hundreds, perhaps a few thousands of Amiga fans pooled a good amount of money together, it would be possible to buy out both companies, force merge them then force them to work together with one another and end this stupid battle.



How much are you offering to throw into the pot?

If some bits aren't working, then you might be able to run the chip faster.

Apples used 68k series processors that way.

I know, but it looked better as 68060 when competing with the ever increasing x86 numbers of the day.

Besides, the x86's were ramping the clock rates rather than noticeably increasing efficiency.

A little ot, when were the first 68010's produced, and when did the first 68020's appear?

Edit: with apologies for the ninja edit above in the post that you just quoted.

Do you know any details about design-stage plans, date-wise (I don't).
