Motorola spun all their remianing semiconductor division off as 
Freescale in 2003. I think Motorola retains about 10% of Freescale. 
Back in 1998 time frame they spun the linear IC and discrete 
products off as On Semiconductor and retained 10% of them.  

I do wonder how much longer the base 68K line will remain a viable 
product. I expect the 683xx series of microcontrollers to remain in 
productin for a while longer. They at least  have a niche market in 
embedded controller operation.
