Exactly, the 060 was only designed to keep the embedded people happy, motorolla
didn't want it to be put in a desktop, only to be used as a stop gap so that
people could port to the ppc in more time.
It wouldn't suprise me if motorolla wouldn't starve the desktop market just
because they wanted to stop support of 68k. They wouldn't lose any money as
they can still sell the 040 for desktops and pursuade anyone else to move to
another chip ( and the few chips that motorolla make for computers nowadays I
don't think they would miss it ).
