I have not opened it up yet to look at the exact motorola number on the CPU, but I am interested in upgrading the 68000. However I need some more info. What are the pros and cons to putting in a 68010? I have the latest Jameco catalog and they list several 68000 series chips. MC68000L8 MC68000L10 MC68000P12 What are the differences between L and P, and 8, 10, 12? Which chip is the one used in the 2000? Also listed in this catalog is MC68010L10, is this a direct replacement for the CPU in the 2000? Will all the software that runs under the 68000 with WB1.2 run with the 68010? BTW I have the mechanical ability to do the swap, but I don't have the technical knowledge of these chips. FYI the MC68010L10 is listed for $29.95. One other chip that caught my eye was an MC68008L8, what is it? Thanks in advance! Mahalo and Aloha John UUCP: crash!pnet01!pro-simasd!pro-pac!johnk U.S. Mail: John C.
