Rafael, >>I would tell you that one of the "embedded applications" of MC68020 is FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) for turbofans. And that's not a joke…<< I find it interesting that you know the Pratt & Whitney PW4168 Turbofan Engine uses a MC68020 in the FADEC (also know as the Electronic Engine Control). I work at Pratt & Whitney in Connecticut, US, as an Technical Instructor and the EEC170 is my _specialty_! I assume you know the FADEC from the Airbus A330 aircraft. Let's see, you are from Berlin, so do you work for/with LTU? They are the only operator of the Growth PW4000 engine in Europe. BTW, I use my Amiga 2000/040 to render cool 3D anims for my EEC and engine training at work. Neat, Huh? John
