I would be very interested in talking to anyone who is doing software development for the Motorola 88xxx RISC processor. I'm presently working on a project involving the 88100 + 88200 and am seeking information about running MS-DOS or OS/2 on this architecture. I'm using an OPUS 88xxx and Motorola Platform 88 as hosts for native mode code development and recently developed a curiousity about running DOS applications in a "window" environ on the 88xxx. I'm fully aware of the BIOS problems and 386 vs 88xxx architectural differences, but can't discount the possible performance advantages of running applications on a RISC processor. If you have similar interests, leave me a message here. I can also arrange remote login to the Platform 88 if you're interested in running simulations or native mode code on a 25 mhz 88xxx RISC host.
