Keywords: 68020, 68010, replacement, upgrade Message-ID: <17206@gatech.edu> Date: 2 Jun 88 06:47:19 GMT Organization: School of Information and Computer Science, Georgia Tech, Atlanta Lines: 18 I have seen all the talk about putting a 68020 in a 68000 socket, but is it similarly possible to put a 68020 in a 68010 socket? What software problems would be expected (as the priviledged opcodes on the '020 are also on the '010, no?). my conception of an '020 daughtercard (for my own system) includes a nice heafty portion of 32-bit RAM...I don't really see a good reason to do it otherwise. now this might be a really silly, but what are the prospects of putting a 68030 in a 68000 (or '010 or '020) socket (with plenty of 32-bit RAM...) ken seefried iii ...!{akgua, allegra, amd, harpo, hplabs, ken@gatech.edu inhp4, masscomp, rlgvax, sb1, uf-cgrl, ccastks@gitvm1.bitnet unmvax, ut-ngp, ut-sally}!gatech!ken soon to be open: ...!gatech!spooge!ken (finally ;'})
