"Intel 68020"
References are made to Intel 68020 Multi Bus 1 computers. As the Multi Bus 1 is a standard created by Intel; but the 68020 is a CPU from Motorola, who actually made the computers -- e.g. Sun? - WAPhelps (talk) 00:40, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Da Vinci Systems used std CPU cards and made custom interface. Telecine Guy 02:24, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Shouldn't the Intel manufacturer claims simply be deleted. It's clearly wrong. Actually, this whole article seems to have been put together wholecloth. Nothing is cited and there my be less obvious inaccuracies. Nxxus (talk) 11:39, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * It is certainly in a horrible state right now: needs to be re-organized around the major milestones in development. I don't have the industry knowledge to do that. Do you? I see you contributed to Video Toaster a while back, so.... - Pointillist (talk) 11:49, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Good point. I'm actually a lawyer by trade and only have pockets of knowledge in the tech arena.  If I see something wrong but within my sphere of knowledge or a way I can contribute, I do what I can.  I know there are people out there that literally collect CPUs, so they would know off the top of their head.  Also, DaVinci was a very closed system that a handful of Hollywood types used because it was so expensive.  The typical desktop PC has more power than it now, but with a refresh it might be industry standard again.  I read this in "Creative Cow" magazine a few months ago http://magazine.creativecow.net/article/blackmagic-design-buys-davinci-part-1.--Nxxus (talk) 21:16, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

You may be correct about the Intel/CPU discrepancy as I don't know that specific detail. However as the re-writer of much of this content here, and an ex employee, it might be wise to consider that almost all of this content was written by ex staff members who did know what was happening so its more likely accurate overall than inaccurate overall. It was re-written to change from current to past tense and obvious errors repaired. As the company no longer exists, we must rely on those who knew back then, and citations they can provide, or through new research into those events. Random changes without direct knowledge or research seem to imply history can be re-written to sound better. Peter--Peter.i.chamberlain (talk) 02:36, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
