 Motorola 88000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Motorola released a series of motherboards for making "out of the box" systems based on the 88000, known as the MVME series, as well as the interesting Series 900 stackable computers.
Badabada.org Comprehensive Motorola 88k CPU and computer information.

 Motorola: Information From Answers.com
The chip used in the latter computers, the PowerPC family, was developed with IBM, and in a partnership with Apple (known as the AIM alliance).
In the computer industry, Motorola is widely known for its 68000 and PowerPC microprocessor families.
The company was also strong in semiconductor technology, including integrated circuits used in computers.

 Motorola's 88000 Family Architecture
The initial members of the 88000 family of high-performance 32-bit microprocessor are the 88100 processor and the 88200 cache and memory management unit (CMMU).
The overall design process for the 88000 family is described, and the integer instructions are discussed.
Some data on the use of the instruction set by the available compilers and the efficiency of the cache and memory systems are presented.

 MacKiDo/History/whats_aim
Motorola was slowly losing their lead in CISC processors -- for the first 10 years the 68000's were far superior to the Intel processors (during the 1980's), but the lead was narrowing.
Apple wanted to bring RISC computing to home machines -- so they could increase performance and reduce costs.
In an interesting side note: Microsoft decided that they could extort money from Motorola and IBM for WinNT.

 Great Microprocessors of the Past and Present
Later, Motorola designed a successor called Coldfire (early 1995), in which complex instructions and addressing modes (added to the 68020) were removed and the instruction set was recoded, simplifying it at the expense of compatibility (source only, not binary) with the 680x0 line.
It has a 5 stage pipeline, which (unlike early MIPS (R2000) processors) had hardware interlocks from the beginning for instructions which take more than one cycle, as well as result forwarding (a result can be used by a previous instruction without waiting for it to be stored in a register first).
Few people wonder why Apple chose the Motorola 68000 for the Macintosh, while IBM's decision to use Intel's 8088 for the IBM PC has baffled many.

 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Data General AViiON
In 1992 Motorola joined the AIM alliance to develop "cut down" versions of the IBM POWER CPU design into a single-chip CPU for desktop machines.
DG at this point gave up working with Motorola, and decided instead to go "all commodity", and use i386 based CPUs from Intel instead.
All of these systems ran a version of System V Unix written for them by SCO, known as DG/UX, to which they added NUMA support.

 RoughlyDrafted
This effort was worth it for Intel, because there was a booming demand for faster PCs, and the money generated from x86 sales far outweighed the development costs of trying to mitigate the flaws in earlier versions.
Both Cyrix and AMD began undermining Intel's monopoly of the PC processor industry by offering x86 compatible processors that rivaled Intel's.
The x86 world was actually growing so fast that Intel faced more competition at home in developing x86 than they did in keeping pace with Motorola.

 NEWS ANALYSIS
Future Apple workstations and file servers will be based on IBM's RS/6000 RISC (reduced instruction set computing) processor, not Motorola's 88000 RISC architecture, as had been widely anticipated.
Apple needs Motorola for its current line of 68000-based computers, Shaeffer said.
NeXT has enough problems; to come out with an 88000 machine would be bullheaded," said Slater.

 Apple and IBM Power ahead together - Forums powered by UBB.threads�
The breakup between Motorola and IBM happened during the development of Book E and the processors after the G3s.
This is most dramatically pointed up by the fact that IBM kept making better and faster G3 processors while Motorola went on to develop the G4 series.
It is a well known fact that IBM is working on developing a PowerPC version of its POWER5 CPUs.

 AIM alliance
AIM was an alliance formed between Apple Computer, IBM and Motorola to create a new computing standard based on the PowerPC architechture.
Although the platform was eventually supported by several Unix flavours as well as Windows NT, these operating systems generally ran just as well on Intel-based hardware so there was little reason to use the PReP systems.
The goal was originally to produce both the CPU design and a common architechture based on it, called PReP (for PowerPC Reference Platform), and later CHRP (for Common Hardware Reference Platform).

 Motorola 6809 - Computing Reference - eLook.org
The 6809 was used in the UK "Dragon 32" personal computer and was followed by the Motorola 68000.
The 6809 was a major advance over both its predecessor, the Motorola 6800 and also over the 6502.
The 6809 had two 8-bit accumulators, rather than one in the 6502, and could combine them into a single 16-bit register.

Data General produced an entire line of Unix machines based on the 88k.
I recall that NEXT was in line to use Motorola's 88000 RISC processor (as was Ford for an imbedded version), but that processor died when the three (IBM, Apple, Motorola) created the PPC, which was, at the time, a single chip version of the POWER Processor.
Motorola at that time was top notch in microcontrollers and microprocessors, and did an amazing job of putting the POWER instruction set on the single chip.
