Jim,
Wasn't the Next machine (the NextCube) based on Motorola processors? From
wikipedia:
______________________________
NeXT's workstation was named the NeXTcube and featured a distinctive case
designed by frogdesign.[19] It was based on the new 25 MHz Motorola 68030
Central processing unit (CPU). The Motorola 88000 RISC chip was originally
considered, but the needed quantity was not available at the time. NeXT
eventually adopted HP's PA-RISC architecture for the NeXT RISC
Workstation,[20] an unreleased project which was canceled along with all
NeXT hardware projects in 1993, though a version of NEXTSTEP was released
for the PA-RISC architecture.[20]"
