By working with Motorola, AMD was able to refine copper interconnect manufacturing to the production stage about one year before Intel.

Motorola ceased production of the HMOS MC68000 and MC68008 in 1996, but its spin-off company, Freescale Semiconductor, is still producing the MC68HC000, MC68HC001, MC68EC000, and MC68SEC000, as well as the MC68302 and MC68306 microcontrollers and later versions of the DragonBall family.

By the time the 68060 was in production, Motorola had abandoned development of the 680x0-type chips in favor of the PowerPC.

* Six Sigma-A Motorola based system that aims to reduce errors in production.

The incident generated a rift in the Apple-Motorola relationship, and reportedly caused Apple to ask IBM for assistance to get the production yields up on the Motorola 7400 series line.

It has been suggested that Motorola had a working " G5 " chip, but said chip failed in the early stages of mass production and thus could not be widely made into a usable chip.

On May 29, 1974, Motorola, Inc., sold its television manufacturing division — including its plants in Pontiac, Illinois ; Franklin Park, Illinois ; and Markham, Ontario — to Matsushita, who continued production of home television receivers under a newly incorporated entity, Quasar Electronics, Inc., an American managed subsidiary of Matsushita Electronic Corporation of America ( MECA ).

The QL, based on the Motorola 68008 microprocessor, was aimed at the hobbyist and small business markets, but failed to achieve commercial success.

Based on a Motorola 68008 processor clocked at 7. 5 MHz, the QL included 128 kB of RAM ( officially expandable to 640 kB ) and could be connected to a monitor or TV for display.

In 1996, STATS, Inc., a major statistical provider to fantasy sports companies, won a court case, along with Motorola, on appeal against the NBA in which the NBA was trying to stop STATS from distributing in game score information via a special wireless device created by Motorola.

* 1996 – The Motorola StarTAC, the first flip phone and one of the first mobile phones to gain widespread consumer adoption, goes on sale.

In 1996, Motorola updated the standalone core with fully static circuitry drawing only 2 µW in low-power mode, calling it the MC68SEC000.

AltiVec was developed between 1996 and 1998 by a collaborative project between Apple, IBM, and Motorola.

To support the RS / 6000 and RS / 6000 SP2 product lines in 1996, IBM had its own design team implement a single-chip version of POWER2, the P2SC (" POWER2 Super Chip "), outside the Apple / IBM / Motorola alliance in IBM's most advanced and dense CMOS-6S process.

iDEN, the platform which WiDEN upgrades, and the protocol on which it is based, was originally introduced by Motorola in 1993, and launched as a commercial network by Nextel in the United States in September 1996.

Bose had previously sued to protect its " Lifestyle " trademark beginning in 1996 with a success against Motorola and continuing with settlements against New England Stereo, Lifestyle Technologies, Optoma and AMX.

Throughout the 1990s out-of-order execution became more common, and was featured in the IBM / Motorola PowerPC 601 ( 1993 ), Fujitsu / HAL SPARC64 ( 1995 ), Intel Pentium Pro ( 1995 ), MIPS R10000 ( 1996 ), HP PA-8000 ( 1996 ), AMD K5 ( 1996 ) and DEC Alpha 21264 ( 1998 ).

The company was founded in 1995, and Motorola acquired 49 % of the company in 1996.

He debuted a Ford Mustang Cobra R in Motorola Cup competition in 1996 with teammate Nick Longhi and competed part-time with that car in the 1997 and 1998 seasons.

The first Motorola model to support the clamshell design was the StarTAC, created in 1996, although General Telephone & Electronics ( GTE ) held the trademark since the 1970s for its Flip Phone ( one of the first small hand-held electronic phones ), until 1993.

The team lasted 16 years, under the sponsorship of 7-Eleven through 1990 and then Motorola from 1990 through 1996.

After both Kiefel and Hampsten stunningly won stages during the Giro, becoming the first American stage winners ever at a Grand Tour, 7-Eleven was invited to the 1986 Tour de France and became one of the major cycling teams for the next decade, under the sponsorship of Southland through 1990 and then Motorola through 1996.

Ochowicz disbanded the team after the 1996 season, when Motorola decided to discontinue sponsorship.

His first success at the top level came in 1996, when Stricker notched two victories ( Kemper Open, Motorola Western Open ) and seven top ten finishes on his way to finishing fourth on the 1996 PGA Tour money list.

Based on the Motorola 68000 family of microprocessors, the machine sports a custom chipset with graphics and sound capabilities that were unprecedented for the price, and a pre-emptive multitasking operating system called AmigaOS.

The Motorola 68000 series of microprocessors was used in all Amiga models from Commodore.

Early CPU accelerator cards feature full 32-bit CPUs of the 68000 family such as the Motorola 68020 and Motorola 68030, almost always with 32-bit memory and usually with FPUs and MMUs or the facility to add them.

Later designs feature the Motorola 68040 and Motorola 68060.

The first version of the Aster consisted of four " Eurocard's ", one Z80 CPU card with 64KB memory, one Motorola MC6845 based video card, one double density floppy disk controller card and one " keyboard / RS232 / cassette interface " card.

Based on a newer, slightly more flexible, version of the Asters original Motorola MC6845 video chip, the Rockwell 6545, it worked by adding a new video mode, one with the ability to reprogram an extended, ( 2048 characters instead of 256 characters ) version of the character set, supported by an extended character memory of the video card that did not use one ( 8 bit ) byte per character, but an 11 bit " word ", so it could address each one of the available 2048 unique programmable characters.

The " ST " officially stands for " Sixteen / Thirty-two ", which referred to the Motorola 68000's 16-bit external bus and 32-bit internals.

The Atari ST was part of the 16 / 32 bit generation of home computers, based on the Motorola 68000 CPU noted for 128 kB of RAM or more, a graphical user interface, and 3½ " microfloppy disks as storage.
