   It failed?  They sold a metric buttload of them, and they were used 
in all sorts of applications.  Same with the i960.  Same with about 
5-10 other architectures.

   Saying it "failed" because it never became their biggest seller is 
like saying every other model of car from Ford "failed" because it 
didn't out-sell the Escort.
