AMD second sources 286's. This was a cause of political problems for a
while because AMD produced faster rated units than Intel. It is rumored that
this is why AMD does not second source 386's :-).
I don't think that V60's are at all like 386's. It resembled a 68000.
Enough so that Motorola sued :-).
