Imagine, how things could have been...

It would have been 68k vs ARM in the home pc arena, and Ahlpa would have beaten Sun Sparc in the server/workstation part of the market. In the offies it would of course been Microsoft Windows XP for Z80 :lol:
Or in a perfect world IBM would have choosen CP/M over MS-DOS as they were close to doing

@Dan

I bet there'd be a hell of alot less bloat if XP had to run on a Z80!

But it would have been a 3GHz Z80, 8bit but Ghz.
Actually I think windows has come a long way instead of a nasty crash each hour(win3.1) it´s a freeze every other day(winXP), but it´s still just as slow of course.

[Dan]

ive always wanted to set up a pentium 4 machine and run win3.11 on it

That would be intresting but hardware drivers would be a problem.
Start both Netscape and a VT100terminal and crash it in nanoseconds :lol:

Atari might have bought the Amiga. Commodore might have done very well making clock radioes.

CBM= Commodore Business Machines
IBM=International Business Machines
It was typewriters and calculators. Why did they left the calculator market???
The texas instrument graphing calculators are real cool and programmable in Basic, C and assembler.
The even got 68000 10Mhz 256kb Ram and 768 kb flash ram. thats the ti-89 version
the Z80 based calcs sucks and is much harder to program.
