I don't think there was ever a 68000 version of NT, even under  
consideration. The initial development target was i860. When it  
became obvious that wasn't going to work out, efforts went to...

I have a Fall '93 developer preview of NT 3.1 which has some text  
files in the SDK which describe this piece of history. I was just  
going to check if it wasn't the MC88000 that was briefly considered  
as the primary target after i860, but before MIPS R4000 (which I  
recall being the primary target for most of the development phase  
before the first efforts to bring it up on ia32), but I seem to have  
temporarily misplaced the disc.
