"I wouldn't be suprised that an 060 could run 680×0 native apps faster than a PowerPC can" Neither would I. A PowerPC would need an emulator to run the 680×0 apps – and that's an anchor. As it is, even the 80Mhz PowerPC is terribly slow at running 680×0 apps in emulation. But well-written native PPC code, I think, would beat the pants off the 68060. Jerry
