There is a jumper on the board which determines whether it boots as
68k or 030; the associated brief preliminary manual instructions make
no mention of whether it gracefully switches back when running.

Dave Haynie:
Does SetCPU v1.5 gamma allow you to go back to the 68k after booting
to the 030 ? It seems to change the CLI prompt in a way that implies
so. Any interesting consequences ?

I specifically avoided buying 16bit expansion RAM until now, because I
was not interested in finding out,

Someone posted recently that Commodore France had shown it.
Dave Haynie seems to have one.
