Motorola Hardware

Processors

88100
The original first-generation m88k CPU, introduced in 1989 and used in many workstation and server systems. Available with up to 33 MHz clock rates.
88110
The second generation m88k processor, unveiled in 1990 and shipped only in 1993 after many delays. Clock rates from 40 to 50 MHz, costing from $360 to $495 in 1000-unit quantities.
88120
Planned, much-improved third-generation processor, never saw the light of the day though.

Chipset

88200
Support processor to the 88100 CPU, providing management of the cache and MMU units. The cache was attached to this chip, not the actual CPU.
88410
L2 cache controller for the 88110 second-generation processor.

MVME Boards

MVME180 and MVME181
Stripped down versions of the MVME187 board. Used partially in embedded functions.
MVME187
Single-Board Computer, first system to faciliate a m88k CPU, namely the 88100. Used in many systems from Motorola and 3rd-party verndors.
MVME188 and MVME188A
SMP-capable MVME processing boards, only provide CPU and cache functions. Up to four 88100 CPUs were supported on some models.
MVME197LE
Successor to the MVME187, already using the new 88110 second-generation CPU.
MVME197SP and MVME197DP
Improved versions of the MVME197LE, facilitating L2 caches of different sizes. The DP featured 2-way 88110 SMP.
MVME297
Memory expansion boards for the different MVME197 systems.
MVME712
I/O boards which attached to the back of MVME boards and provided the necessary different I/O connectors.
