Lines: 36 From: EricHi, I just spoke to the design group at Motorola. It seems they have extended the offer of including a free 8Mhz 68010 in the kit to cover all units sold. So, for $68 you get: MC68000 MC68008 (8 bit 68000) MC68440 (DMA control) MC68230 (parallel interface/timer) MC68661 (enhanced peripheral communications interface) MC68652 (multi-protocol communication controller) MC68681 (dual UART) MC68901 (multi-function peripheral) plus the complete M68000 documentation library, and a free MC68010 8Mhz MPU! The kit is called the M68000KIT, and is available from any authorized Motorola distributor. I heard that someone on BIX had plugged an MC68010 into his Amiga and it worked fine, giving him a fair increase in speed (thanks for making the software upwardly compatible Amiga!)... does anyone have his exact figures and comments? I've already ordered mine! The number to call again for info is: 1-800-521-6274.
