Although the the 8080/8088/8086/80186/80286 doesn't have a sensuous organization like the 68000/68020, only a twit would say INTEL botched it considering the 10 to 1 ratio between Intel and Motorola shipped units. (and I know your not a twit) Having designed with both companies products and SUPPORT services, I must admit that INTEL does do a few things right.... Even MOTOROLA would admit that. Now Henry, be nice to those poor INTEL people who indirectly brought us the PC, PC-AT,......... Big Mac
