Well hell. I don't know WHAT to think about the Jag anymore. I've
heard so much contradictory info on it it's simply not funny. Here's
a quick list :
1) two RISC chips
2) one 64bit RISC chip and a 32bit DSP(?) chip
3) a 68000 (16bit)
4) 68000 for handling I/O, whateverthehell that means.
There's more, I'm not going to list it all..
Oh yeah :
If you think they still make Macs with 68000 processors,
you just don't know what you're talking about.
I think the most recent mac with a 68000 is the Mac SE, or maybe the
Mac Classic. (Dunno if the Classic II has 68000 or 68020, but in
any case noone buys those :) )
