But, I wonder what would have happened if IBM had chosen the 68k.... :-o
Just some thoughts to get the ball rolling:
Motorola would not have had the ruthlessness of Intel, and desire to improved the Chip. Right now we would all be using 100Mhz 68040s...
IBM would not have gained such a strangle hold on the market as there were plenty of other, better machines avaiable which, with a little poking, were quite compatible... :-D
It should interest you to know that IBM did, indeed, produce a 68k based workstation in the mid 80's.
I'd hope and pray that by now we
wouldn't be limited to 100mhz anything in any "alternate history" event. Yeesh, what a nightmare!
