A while back i can into possession of several 9836U systems.  In a desire
to run 4.3BSD i found that i have to use a 9920U cpu in my 9836box.  I
have talked to some people inside HP who said the 9836U and 9920U have
the same CPU and MMU.  I have decided this is quite impossible for the
following reasons:

1) i can not take the cpu from the 9836U and put it on the 9920U board and
   use it
2) when i do #1 the 4.0 bootroms say that i have a 68000 processor, when i 
   use the cpu provided on the 9920U cpu it says i have a 68010 processor


So what gives??  I read a while back in one of the old HP books that the
9920U and 9836U had the same cpu, but from what i have seen it isnt so!

can someone please clarify this for me?

Jeff
