All the best Peter Hi Peter, It was in their "roadmap feature" however I need to check it out and I will get back to you with the URL. As for the speed, 266MHz is A LOT better than 66 (or 75).

Will see also how Motorola will go ahead with the publicised full compatibility with the 68K (and the ultra high speeds they have in their "roadmap" (Trendy word this one these days ;-) Almost the ColdFire V4e had been released in spring.
