Editing Motorola 88000 (section)

===Re-release===
As the original release saw next to no use outside Motorola's own products, and those traditional customers were starting to move to other RISC designs, the company re-launched the design in a single-chip form, the MC88110. In the late 1980s, several companies were actively examining the 88000 series for future use, including [[NeXT]], [[Apple Computer]] and [[Apollo Computer]], but all had given up on the design by the time the 88110 was finally available in 1992.

There was an attempt to popularize the system with the [[88open]] group, similar to what [[Sun Microsystems]] was attempting with its [[SPARC]] design. It appears to have failed in any practical sense.<ref name="Standards Wars">{{cite web |title=Standards Wars: Situations, Strategies and Outcomes |page=7 |url=http://www.consortiuminfo.org/bulletins/pdf/mar06/feature.pdf |publisher=ConsortiumInfo.org |date=March 2006 |author=Updegrove, Andrew |access-date=2009-06-16 |archive-date=2016-03-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303230510/http://www.consortiuminfo.org/bulletins/pdf/mar06/feature.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>
