Is this also true of the story behind choosing the 68008 over the full 68000; namely: At design stage the 68008 was in a plastic package and cheap, but the 68000 was in ceramic and expensive; hence went for 68008. Only prob was that when the QL actually went into production the 68000 was available in plastic and cheaper than the 68008!?
