Wow!  A question that I can respond to.....

I've been using a 68010 in my B2000, Rev 4.2 for the last 6-7 months with 
no problems.  The only thing that does not work with the 68010 is the game
F-16 COMBAT PILOT which is no great loss anyway :-).

All of my other games work ok as do Prowrite (2.5 & 3.0), MaxiPlan, 
MicroFiche Filer, AmigaVision, AudioMaster, etc.... in short everything I use.
I did get a copy of SUPERDECIGEL and placed that in my startup sequence,
sorry but I don't remember which Fish disk it came from.  All of the games
that boot from floppy work just fine without it though.  None of the PD
stuff I run seems to break because of the 68010.

The speed checks I've run both on my 2000 and a friends 1000 with a 68010
show about a speed increase of about 1%.  Some programs with a lot of 
math are noticably faster.      

I still haven't decided if the small speed gains were worth the $15 I paid 
for the 68010.  It doesn't seem to be worth the trouble to pull it back out 
though :-)
