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...)
