I think Motorola would be QUITE surprised that you're trying to plan so far in advance! The 68040 is barely shipping... (For flamers, if there is indeed a 68070 that's something else, which I _sincerely_ doubt given the numbering scheme and the phrase of the question, then sorry.) In terms of other 680x0 series chips, other that the 68010 I don't think it's possible to simply (or even complexly) replace the 68000 with one; there's enough soft and hardware differences to make this impossible; hence, many competing boards for the 2000 to upgrade to 68020/68030... -- //..is|While 1 DO|Erin,Erin,where are|Art of Noise space| -- Ceej (= \X/there| Fork; |you? /-----------.-^------------------|ceej@pawl.rpi.edu AMIGAany|----------^-----|Cebhq gb or|Reclaimer:Hey!That's| gmry@mts.rpi.edu (=other?|HOW DO YOU FEEL.|Yvoreny!
