The 3000 has a totally different 200 pin CPU slot. There is no way to use a 2000 CPU card in a 3000. I hope the 50MHz 030 card has a decent cache on it, or any speedup will be very modest. >Chris Swanson, Academic Computing Center, St. Olaf College, Northfield,MN 55057 -- Martin Hunt martin@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore-Amiga Engineering {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!martin
