Hi All
A couple of things:
The final configuration of the 68000 Milan is not set as neither is the price. It is supposed to be sold for under $1,000.
Second while Atari Corp may be dead such is not the case with the 68060 chip.
Development continues and the chip is being used by NASA in much of its machinary. This chip is actually a better piece of electronics than the the intel
or the PPC or 750 series of chips. It got abandoned by computers because Apple made a deal with IBM
to create a joint operating system and had to switch to the PPC line to accomodate IBM
My Hades is a 50 Mhz chip with a clock speed of 60 Mhz. But that's only half the story of the Milan which incorporates new developments in its version
of the 68060.
As they say in the trade, we shall see what the final version and power of the Milan is.
