     Ah, no. I'm sitting typing on a 68010-eqipped Amiga 500. The 68010
is pin compatible with the 68000; it's a direct swap. As for incompatiblity;
yes, only as far as the 68020 is also incompatible. Programmes that will
run on a 68020 will run on a 68010.
                                                      - R'ykandar.
