No need to apologize I *am* ( now at least ) one of the main authors of the article Here's a link to how the article looked before I started making major alterations to it : https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit...=782233761

Note that I had nothing to do with the inaccuracies of the wikitable which lists the various CPUs / SoCs and their specs The table was added by another person before I started making changes to the article -- I think the only modifications I've made to the table are some inline citations for the "New-Yorke" prototype CPU ( which link to Cyrille's posts in this thread ).

Quote:According to my own database on the subject, the i486DX2-comparison you refer to was not drawn by Dave Arnett, but by Preston Brown.

OH! I didn't know that! Thanks for the information

Quote:The reason you couldn’t find the exact post on Google Groups is that it is simply not there anymore! It’s part of that ill-fated comp.sys.hp48-period, running from spring 1993 to spring 1994, that seems to have been devoured by some mysterious Chronophagos. But a snippet of it has been preserved on Joe Horn’s Goodies Disk #9 under the name "SPEEDUP.DOC" (in the "POSTINGS" sub-directory), a copy of which can also be found here.

Thanks for the info!

Quote:Thanks for your outstanding contributions in general, Jonathan! I'm really looking forward to your reworking of the article!

Thank you for all the corrections and information and a big you're welcome for the compliment!

Regards,

Jonathan
