Co., Everett, WA Lines: 12 What's next? I don't think its 64 bit micros, but how about 36 bits? I think we will see LSI implementations of some popular architectures from the 60's-70's. What about IBM 360 type architectures. I heard IBM was making a micro right now that emulated some larger IBM architecture. DEC is making a LSI vax, but how about an LSI pdp-10? Watch out hexadecimal, the octal microprocessors are coming! -- Kurt Guntheroth John Fluke Mfg. Co., Inc. {uw-beaver,decvax!microsof,ucbvax!lbl-csam,allegra,ssc-vax}!fluke!kurt
