I've had a 2000 w/6.0 motherboard for about four months now and it's
worked absolutley flawlessly with my HardFrame/ST138N and 8-UP! (2 megs,
100 ns parts, if that matters..).  The caveat:  I replaced the Motorola (!)
68000 with a 10 MHz Motorola 68010 (ceramic, if that matters... :).  I've
been very pleased with the machine considering all the problems I had with 
my 500 when I had it!

BTW, I think that part you mention is made by SGS-Thomson, but don't quote
me on that.
