The 68000 has 32 bit registers. The Series/1 only has 16 bit registers. Sticking 1000000 into a 16 bit register and then decrementing it forever yields indeterminate results. Besides, I don't really think it makes sense to do such a comparison. The Series/1 was intended as a multi-user machine. -Ron
