What software problems Yes. No problem: the 67999 (for my opinion the 010 is the 'real' 68000) and the 010 are pin-compatible and have the same bus timing. The problem is not the hardware (the PAK68 board made by a german computer magazine called c't will do) but the software (as you said). If the system and application software can deal with the greater stack frame of the 020, everything should work. hase -- Hartmut Semken, Lupsteiner Weg 67, 1000 Berlin 37 hase@netmbx.UUCP High on a rocky promontory sat an Electric Monk on a bored horse.
