Well... dont try anything like Fa-18 ... 
But, the good news it... dump the 68010! It's worthless
compared to the 14mHz hack. Sure... if you cant
install it yourself... get someone who can! Pay them 50$
for the hack job. Save about 300$ and pleanty of 60810 blues.
 
But... if you *DO* decide to 68010 it... there are currently
three (almost identical) programs that hack into the 680x0
opcodes and fix the div by 0 error or whatever that code is.
 
Just chuck it in your startup-sequence under the setpatch
and whamo! no problemo... but... what if you're playing
a non-wb thing. Your stuck. But, if you do the 14mzh hack,
you've got the best of THREE worlds.
 
1_ 14 mzh if ya want it for almost anything
2_ no crash like 68010
3_ with the flick of a switch you're back to being a stock 500!
 
So - do the right thing... DO THE HACK!
