I had a 68000 development board and it was a nice processor. Motorola 
would have had trouble producing the required 68008 parts. I liked the 
Z8000 because if working with the Z80 but the 68000 was faster. However 
Intel's 8088 was available and cheap.

IBM might have saved Intel's bacon too. Intel had invested a lot in the 
iAPX 432 that was completely different than to 80xx processors and it 
wasn't going well. It staggered on until '86 but they had cash flow from 
the successive generations of the 8086.

There are a lot of twists and turns in the history of computing. Windows 
on Arm Part 2 may take off like a cheetah or it may be another 'well it 
sounded loke a good idea.'
