Some of IBM's engineers and other employees wanted to use the IBM 801 processor, some would prefer the new Motorola 68000, while others argued for a small and simple microprocessor, such as the MOS Technology 6502 or Zilog Z80, which had been used in earlier personal computers.

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

However, the original design group appeared to be even less interested in working for Jack Tramiel than it had for Motorola, and the team quickly started breaking up.

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.

Cards at the time had embedded, dedicated CPUs ( for example a Motorola 68000 processor ), which were as powerful as the processors inside the Macintosh systems that hosted the application.

In 1984 Dr. Tim King joined the company, bringing with him a version of the operating system TRIPOS for the Motorola 68000 processor which he had previously worked on whilst a researcher at the University of Cambridge.

This process let the architects perform " design-ahead " so that when silicon technlogies were available, Motorola had designs ready to implement and go to market.

It was an accident of history that the IBM PC happened to have an Intel CPU ( instead of the technically superior Motorola 68000 that had been tipped for it, or an IBM in-house design ), and that it shipped with IBM PC-DOS ( a licensed version of Microsoft's MS-DOS ) rather than the CP / M-86 operating system, but these accidents were to have enormous significance in later years.

The event had 17, 500 attendees and over 100 exhibitors ; the kickoff speaker was Motorola chairman Bob Galvin.

The Fairlight ran its own operating system known as QDOS ( a modified version of the Motorola MDOS operating system ) and had a menu-driven GUI.

It used a Motorola 68000 CPU ( like the Macintosh, Lisa and Amiga ) running at 5 MHz, had 256 KB of RAM, and an internal 300 / 1200 bit / s modem.

The first version was written by Gary Davidian, who had originally created it for use on the Motorola 88000 CPU, used in Apple's abortive first attempt at a RISC target platform.

The Macintosh IIci and later Motorola based Macintosh computers had 32-bit clean ROMs.

SanDisk had conceived microSD when its CTO and the CTO of Motorola concluded that current memory cards were too large for mobile phones.

Due to the Motorola 68040's split instruction and data caches, the Quadra had compatibility problems with self-modifying code ( including relocating code, which was common under the Macintosh memory model ).

The Motorola 68000 family had the 68881 / 68882 coprocessors which provided similar floating-point speed acceleration as for the Intel processors.

The 68EC040 is a version of the Motorola 68040 microprocessor, intended for embedded controllers ( EC ).

Although intended for designs based on the Motorola 6800 CPU and given a related part number, it was more commonly used alongside various other processors.

As MIPS Computer Systems, Inc. had co-founded the Advanced Computing Environment consortium with Silicon Graphics, Microsoft, Motorola and others, the MIPS Magnum R4000 was intended to be MIPS ' entry into the Windows NT workstation market.

Some of the more notable ones included Glenn Gorman's TRS-80 BASIC implementation called Minibin, a clone of Cit-86 intended to run on a Unix running on Motorola processors called Cit / 68, and a Unix version called Citadel / UX.

In 2010 EastLink launched another service in cooperation with other providers and the government of Nova Scotia's Broadband for Rural Nova Scotia initiative: a Motorola Canopy based rural Internet service capable of 0. 5 megabit uploads, 1. 5 megabit downloads, which was intended to reach " 100 % of civic addresses " in Nova Scotia.

** DS90-00, DS90-10, DS90-11, Motorola 68010-based UNIX servers intended for use via terminals.

In October 2011, Motorola resurrected the Razr brand for a line of Android smartphones ; the Droid RAZR for Verizon Wireless ( otherwise it would be known simply as ' Motorola RAZR ' on other networks ) and the improved variant Droid RAZR MAXX.

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 " 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.

* 1973 – Martin Cooper of Motorola made the first handheld mobile phone call to Joel S. Engel of Bell Labs, though it took ten years for the DynaTAC 8000X to become the first such phone to be commercially released.

See, e. g., Clearfield Trust Co. v. United States, ( giving federal courts the authority to fashion common law rules with respect to issues of federal power, in this case negotiable instruments backed by the federal government ); see also International News Service v. Associated Press, 248 U. S. 215 ( 1918 ) ( creating a cause of action for misappropriation of " hot news " that lacks any statutory grounding, but that is one of the handful of federal common law actions that survives today ); National Basketball Association v.
