The QL was the first (home) 68K machine, it was actually an 8 Bit machine (8-32).

This was back when machines were rated on their BUS width, this was until Intel came along and made the 386SX machines and said they were "True" 32Bit PCs (with a 16Bit BUS).

The QL was recalled as there was a manufacturing defect, it was supposed to effect around 80% of machines made but turned out to be more like 2%.

I also had a Tandy mainframe system with multiple 68K processors and Z80s for Serial control. It came from my fathers factory, I had loads of stuff and it was all crap.

Elliot.
